| PKK says halts militant activity in Turkey until elections |
| 2015-10-11 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] The outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) called on its fighters to halt activities in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... unless they face an attack, a news website close to the organization said Oct. 10, three months after it ended a two-year-old de facto cease-fire. Firat news agency reported the head of the KCK, the PKK umbrella group, as saying the decision was taken in response to calls from within and outside Turkey and that its members would avoid acts which could prevent a "fair and just election" being held on Nov. 1. The announcement came hours after at least 30 people were killed when twin kabooms hit a rally of hundreds of activists outside Ankara's main train station in a terrorist attack. |
