The terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has threatened to carry the war in Turkey's southeast to bigger cities in the west of the country if Turkey maintains its military drive against the PKK in the area, a pro-Kurdish newspaper reported Tuesday.

A senior PKK commander issued the threat in a statement carried by the website of the pro-Kurdish Ozgur Politika newspaper, as concern grows about a possible further increase in violence following a European court judgment that PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan did not receive a fair trial in 1999."
