Kurdistan Workers' Party

"Turkey: Reform falters as violence spreads
More people dying in clash between Turkey and Kurdish rebels than in Afghan war.

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey — The shadow of war is again hanging heavily over Turkey.

After breaking a 14-month ceasefire this June, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party has stepped up bomb attacks and attacks on the Turkish military. At least 100 fighters, including 30 Turkish soldiers, have been killed over the past few weeks — many more than the casualties reported from the Afghan war for the same period."
