23/06/2009
ANKARA, Turkey -- Chief of General Staff General Ilker Basbug said on Monday (June 22nd) the only solution in the fight against the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is to dissolve it and make it lay down its weapons. 'As long as the PKK continues the armed fight, it is a mistake to think that only economic, social and cultural measures may bring a solution', Basbug told those attending a seminar in Istanbul. He was responding to recently-announced plans by the government to seek a peaceful solution to the decades-long Kurdish issue by expanding the Kurdish minority's social and cultural rights."
