Ankara. .- The armed Kurdish Workers' Party of Kurdistan (PKK) announced the end of the unilateral ceasefire it had declared on 13 August to make way for negotiations with the Turkish government. The PKK said in a statement, carried by the Firat news agency, to "defend a much more active", but in principle refrain from attacking "Turkish targets." "Our guerrillas have strictly observed the cease-fire, but the government lost the opportunity with his attitude," says the PKK, which blames the Executive moderate Islamist Recep Tayyip Erdogan's lack of willingness to solve "the conflict." The PKK, listed as terrorist by the U.S.
and the European Union declared a unilateral truce last August with the intention of extending it to the general election expected on June 12. The organization reiterates its conditions for a new ceasefire, demanding in particular that the Turkish government to end military operations against the PKK and start negotiations with the historic leader of that organization, the imprisoned Abdullah Ocalan.
Clashes between PKK militants and security forces often intensify after the spring, after months of harsh winter that hit the southeast of Turkey. The PKK took up arms in 1984 to fight for greater political autonomy for the 12 million Kurds living in Turkey, and more than 45,000 people have since died in clashes.
