ISTANBUL?Turkey's prime minister stood by his military while promising an investigation into the killing of 35 villagers by Turkish warplanes, after the incident triggered antigovernment protests and brought an unusual message of condolence by the armed forces.
The Turkish government acknowledged that the victims of the airstrike Wednesday night targeting Kurdish rebels on the Iraqi border were in fact Turkey-based smugglers, not terrorists, and that an operational mistake was made.
The government of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has come under fire over the incident, which some pro-Kurdish groups said was deliberate, a charge the government and military denied.
