From 1994, it appears that the PKK started to
systematically recruit more and more children and even created
children's regiments. It was claimed, for example, that a children's
battalion named Tabura Zaroken Sehit Agit was composed of three
divisions and was, in theory at least, run by a committee of five
children aged between 8 and 12 years. Both boys and girls are recruited
by the PKK.1950 In 1998, it was reported that the PKK had 3,000 children
within its ranks, more than 10 per cent of whom were girls. The
youngest child witnessed with the PKK was 7 years old.
