Turkish Force of 250,000 Set for Kurds
in response to reader comment: The PKK are not terrorists!

I am saying so, this is because this organization has been applying tactics, which are by definition terrorist. It really does count that the majority of the Kurds settled in Turkey are the supportive of its cause, a claim quite open to further arguement, because IRA or ETA has also such a wide popularity base. Rather, the tactics being amployed to achieve respective aims is what define whether an organization is 'terrorist', or not. Do you think Hevallo "Kaplanists" in Northern Iraq is liberating Kurds from the rule of KRG at the moment, since that is what they have claimed to do so--just like PKK!
