Prevent terror? Language in any conflict is very important. The Kurdish side would not see the PKK as a terrorist organisation. It is the Turkish state that has labelled it 'terrorist' and provided the west with lots of psychological 'black' propoganda to support this claim. It is well known on the Kurdish side that there has been so many incidents perpetrated by dark forces aligned to the Turkish state that have carried out atrocities only to blame them on the PKK and so paint them as 'terrorists'.

The last comment ended by asking Turkey if they could find another way to 'prevent terror' by which I presume they mean the Kurdish PKK from fighting. Well there is only one way and that is to begin peaceful and democratic negotiations with the Kurdish side on a peaceful settlement to the Kurdish Question in Turkey. Simple!

Until we can start to see the issue for what it really is, denial of 30 million Kurdish people the right of self determination, and continue to label it as 'terrorism' then there is a very big conflict brewing the scale of which we dare not think of.
