ANKARA, Turkey — Three Germans seized by Kurdish rebels during a climbing expedition on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey were released Sunday in good condition, authorities said.

The three men were kidnapped from eastern Agri Province on July 8, allegedly as a rebel protest against a German crackdown on supporters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the PKK.

The rebels have been fighting for self-rule in southeastern Turkey since 1984.
