WASHINGTON (AFP) — Turkish President Abdullah Gul indicated Tuesday that his country cannot, by itself, forge a 'political solution' ending two decades of attacks by Kurdish rebels based in nearby northern Iraq.
Speaking after White House talks with President George W. Bush, he said resolution of the crisis with the rebels of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was difficult because they were 'terrorists' and based outside of Turkey."
