ANKARA 

A Turkish court slapped suspects of 2016's deadly car bomb attack carried out by PKK terrorist group in the capital Ankara with aggravated life sentences on Wednesday.

The March 13, 2016 attack at Guvenpark in Ankara’s Kizilay -- a popular shopping area and a major public transportation hub -- had been carried out using an explosives-laden vehicle, which left 36 people dead and dozens others injured.

The 4th Heavy Penal Court in Ankara gave 37 times aggravated life imprisonment to Mehmet Veysi Dolasan for killing 36 people and disrupting the unity and territorial integrity of the Turkish state.

Dolasan got 10,260 years of jail term for attempting to kill 342 people, including children, and other 16 years of prison term for possessing and transporting explosives.

In addition, Dolasan was given a punitive fine of 200,000 Turkish liras ($37,379).

The other convicts, Sebahattin Karakoc and Azamattin Karakoc, were sentenced to aggravated life imprisonments each for disrupting the unity and territorial integrity of the state of Turkey.

They were also given 16 year prison terms each for possessing and transporting explosives and were sentenced to pay 200,000 Turkish liras as a punitive fine.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women and children. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
