PKK Attacks Turkish Naval Base

[Heja]

Good Job!

Smart response to the bombing of Qendil and Bashur.

Strike hard at the heart of the enemy's army in their own backyard. Take the fight to the mediterranean coast. The pashas should not feel comfortable in their bases anywhere in Turkey.

Well done guerrillas.

The PKK ceasefire is basically dead according to Öcalan. My advice to the PKK: Attack the Turkish military, shed their blood until the mountains cry out for mercy.

PKK rebels say scrap ceasefire on Turkish forces

By Shamal Aqrawi

ARBIL, Iraq, June 3 (Reuters) - Kurdish militants from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) have scrapped a year-old unilateral ceasefire and resumed attacks against Turkish forces, a PKK spokesman said on Thursday.

The move follows an escalation in violence with the onset of summer between Turkish armed forces and PKK guerrillas fighting from bases in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. "Two days ago, we started waging attacks against the Turkish army in response to their repeated military attacks against the party and political attacks facing Kurds in Turkey," PKK spokesman Ahmed Danees told Reuters in Kurdistan.

"We have decided to break the unilateral ceasefire with Turkey that we announced in April last year."

He blamed a lack of progress on a political reform package announced last year by the Turkish government, and military operations of the kind late last month when Turkish warplanes attacked some 50 PKK targets in northern Iraq.

The PKK announcement coincides with a landmark visit to Turkey by Iraqi Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani, underscoring deepening trade ties between Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan.

The ceasefire has long been on shaky ground.

Violence has risen following the spring thaw. Turkish authorities have said the PKK's attacks this spring include remote-controlled bombs, ambushes on military bases and firefights.

Officials have said May was the deadliest month this year, with 23 soldiers killed and 33 wounded.

More than 40,000 people, mostly Kurds, have been killed since the PKK took up arms against Turkey in 1984 for an independent homeland. The rebels say they now want greater rights and autonomy for Turkey's estimated 15 million Kurds.

Fighting has dropped off since Turkish agents snatched guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan from Kenya in 1999.

But relentless army operations against the PKK inside Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast and periodic military raids into northern Iraq have failed to extinguish the insurgency.

The PKK, branded terrorists by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, declared a "period of non-action" in April 2009, saying they would halt fighting except in self-defence.

The gesture coincided with a pledge by the Turkish government of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to expand Kurdish rights under a reform package designed to end the conflict.

But the initiative suffered a setback in December, when the Constitutional Court outlawed the Democratic Society Party (DTP) on charges of being the political wing of the PKK.

"... they have not presented any real projects that might aid the Kurdish issue since the announcement of the last constitutional reform package of the government," Danees said.

"We find ourselves compelled to defend ourselves, to protect our people and our national question in Turkey," he said. (Additional reporting by Ayla Jean Yackley in Istanbul, writing by Suadad al-Sahly and Matt Robinson in Baghdad)

Kurdish rebels kill 37 Turkish soldiers over two months

Number of Turkish soldiers killed in operations against Kurdistan Workers’ Party over last two months has reached 37, APA informational agency reported.

It’s unclear whether the report includes number of killed soldiers from the irregular units.

Turkish media reported the armed clash between PKK rebels and the Turkish security forces occurred near Uludere Town of Sirnak Province on Tuesday. One soldier was killed, three others were wounded. It was also reported that three PKK rebels were killed. A Turkish police checkpoint was attacked by Kurdish rebels.

Many Turkish media reported in May that a code message of the Kurdish rebels had been intercepted by Turkish commanders. The message contained calls for rebels in Turkey to step up military actions since May 31.

Some 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts fuelled by PKK 's separatist campaign in Turkey.

Our freedom fighters should have never wasted the whole year on cease fire, the entire world knows Turkish mentality and tolerance towards Kurds. The only time dialogue would work with the kamlist when PKK turns every inch of their mnagolian land to hell and fire.

I can not wait to see the day when PKK starts attacking them the way insurgent did against US army in Iraq. Suicide, IED and bullets are the only way to reach our freedom and defeat their coward army.

Kurdish rebels kill 10 Turkish soldiers near Iraq
(AFP)

ANKARA — Kurdish rebels killed 10 Turkish soldiers in an attack on an army post and a mine explosion near the border with Iraq, prompting retaliatory air raids on rebel outposts, the army said Saturday.

The rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) claimed responsibility for the attack which killed eight soldiers at a military post near the city of Semdinli close to the Iraqi border, PKK spokesman Ahmed Denis told AFP in the Iraqi Kurdistan regional capital of Arbil.

"Turkish warplanes have started to attack the Khwakorek district inside Iraqi territory," Denis said, adding that he had no information on number of casualties.

The Turkish military responded with helicopters to the army post attack and killed 12 rebels, the army said in an online statement. It also said 14 soldiers had been wounded.

Turkish fighter jets then launched a raid targeting PKK rebel positions in northern Iraq where the separatists have rear bases, the military said.

Later Saturday, two soldiers were killed by a remote-controlled mine while engaged in operations to capture Kurdish rebels infiltrating across the border.

The PKK often lays mines to attack Turkish forces and civilians suspected of working for them.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced the attack on the army post as "cowardly" and vowed that it would have no effect on his country's determination to fight the PKK "to the end".
In a message of condolence to the head of the armed forces, Erdogan emphasised that Turkey was willing to "pay the price" to "annihilate " the PKK.

On Friday the Turkish military announced that at least 130 members of the PKK had been killed inside Turkey and in an air raid on rebel hideouts in Iraq since violence flared anew in March. The military had lost 43 personnel.

The military also said it expected the PKK to further intensify and spread its attacks.

The mounting violence in recent months has clouded the government's bid to seek a peaceful end to the 26-year-old conflict with Kurdish rebels seeking a separate homeland in the country's southeast.

The conflict with the PKK, considered a terrorist organisation by Turkey and much of the international community, has claimed more than 45,000 lives since it began in 1984, according to the army.

Rebels threaten attacks on all Turkish cities
By Abdul Hamid Zebari

Arbil, Iraq - The rebel Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) threatened on Saturday to launch attacks in cities across Turkey if the Turkish army presses on with its policy of military confrontation.

"We will take our operations to all Turkish cities if the government continues its attacks against us," spokesman Ahmed Denis said in the Iraqi Kurdistan regional capital of Arbil.

"Turkey wants to us take us towards war," he said. "She is not sincere in dealing with the Kurdish issue and doesn't want to deal with this issue peacefully.

"The measures she has taken so far are just a hoax," he added, in allusion to the so-called "Kurdish opening" announced by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan amid great fanfare last October.

The initiative has faltered amid an opposition outcry that Ankara is bowing to the PKK, as well as persistent rebel attacks and a judicial onslaught on Kurdish activists.

Denis's comments came after PKK fighters killed 11 Turkish soldiers in an attack on an army post and a mine explosion near the border, prompting retaliatory air raids on suspected rebel targets inside Iraq.

Erdogan denounced the attack on the army post in the far southeastern town of Semdinli as "cowardly" and vowed that it would have no effect on Turkey's determination to fight the PKK "to the end."

In a message of condolence to the armed forces chief, he said Turkey was willing to "pay the price" to "annihilate" the PKK.

On Friday, the Turkish military said it had lost 43 troops to PKK attacks since March. It said it had killed 130 rebel fighters inside Turkey and in an air raid on rebel hideouts in Iraq over the same period.

But Denis took issue with the rebel death toll given by the Turkish army. He said it was true that the PKK had lost 130 of its fighters but said that the losses covered a much longer period stretching back to April 2009.

The Turkish military had predicted that the PKK would further intensify and spread its attacks.

Erdogan charged on Friday that the rebels were seeking to undermine his government's initiative to boost Kurdish freedoms and investment in the country's impoverished southeast in a bid to peacefully end the conflict.

On Saturday, he said: "Turkey will not give in to the spiral of violence" unleashed by the PKK.

"We will not turn back on our commitment to democratisation which hinders the terrorist organisation," he said in a statement.

On Friday, Turkish prosecutors charged 151 Kurds, among them popular politicians, as part a massive investigation into an alleged urban wing of the PKK.

The conflict with the rebel group, considered a terrorist organisation by much of the international community as well as Ankara, has claimed more than 45 000 lives since it broke out in 1984, according to the Turkish army. - Sapa-AFP

Report: Kurdish rebels kill 1 Turkish soldier
AP - 6/20/2010

ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey's state-run news agency says Kurdish rebels have killed one Turkish soldier in an attack on a military outpost in eastern Turkey. The attack has raised the number of Turkish soldiers killed by the rebels to 12 in two days.

Anatolia agency says one soldier was also wounded in Sunday's attack near the town of Palu in Elazig province, a day after a similar rebel raid left nine soldiers dead and a mine blast killed two more near the Iraqi border. Turkish jets have bombed Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq in response.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to travel to the eastern city of Van to attend a funeral for the soldiers on Sunday. Hundreds of Turkish protesters have demanded tougher action by the government.

Kurdish rebels kill 7 Turkish soldiers
By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA (AP) - 7/20/2010

ISTANBUL — Kurdish rebels killed six Turkish soldiers and wounded 15 in an overnight raid Tuesday on a military outpost along the border with Iraq, indicating the resiliency of their low-level insurgency and the failure of efforts to reach a peace accord. Another soldier died in a separate attack.

Troops backed by helicopter gunships surged into the mountainous area after the attack, even as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan acknowledged that military action alone would not end a 26-year conflict rooted in the grievances of Turkey's Kurdish minority.

"There is no magic wand," Erdogan said in a weekly address in Parliament. "If we look at it as merely a question of security, we would be wrong. We have done so for years. The results are clear. But this issue has sociological, psychological, diplomatic and many other aspects."

According to the prime minister and Anatolia news agency, rebels from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, known by its Kurdish acronym PKK, fired rockets and other weapons at the unit at around 2 a.m. At least one rebel was killed, and clashes were underway later in the day.

The fighting happened near the town of Cukurca in Hakkari province in southeast Turkey, a frequent site of attacks by PKK militants who slip across an Iraqi border that is difficult to police because of its remote and rugged landscape.

In a separate attack Tuesday, suspected rebels fired on a military vehicle near the town of Gurpinar in Van province, north of Cukurca, DHA news agency reported. One soldier died, and the attackers fled.

Labeled terrorists by Turkey and the West, the rebels have accelerated operations since June, declaring that the government was not sincere about seeking peace. Erdogan's government has tried to improve the lot of Turkish Kurds, who comprise up to 20 percent of Turkey's population of more than 70 million. It allowed Kurdish-language television broadcasts and other rights aimed at blunting rebel calls for more autonomy in the mainly Kurdish southeast.

However, the return last year of a group of PKK rebels from Iraq to Turkey in what was supposed to be a reconciliation gesture turned sour. The rebels cast it as a victory celebration, infuriating Turks and sapping support for government initiatives.

A recent decision by jailed PKK chief Abdullah Ocalan to leave decisions to rebel commanders in the field led to more ambushes, said Carina O'Reilly, Europe analyst for London-based Jane's Country Risk. She said there could be more attacks in urban settings if the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, a PKK branch with some autonomy, become more active.

"The PKK seem to have an almost unlimited capacity to keep going at this low level of insurgency," O'Reilly said. "There's no real military way of flushing them out."

Turkey, a NATO member, has a mostly conscript force of about 1 million and has conducted frequent air attacks on suspected rebel hideouts in northern Iraq. Turkish leaders, however, acknowledge that the tactic cannot wipe out the PKK, which is weaker than in its 1990s heyday, and might serve as a recruitment tool by pushing angry youths into rebel ranks.

Also Tuesday, Turkey's parliament on Tuesday started debating an amendment to soften an anti-terrorism law that has been used to jail Kurdish minors involved in violent protests. The proposal would reduce or waive jail terms for Kurdish youths convicted of throwing stones at police.

The government proposed the measure in late 2009, but it was shelved amid nationalist fury after a Kurdish firebomb attack killed a Turkish woman this year. Those who bear firearms or ammunition would not receive leniency.

Erdogan said lawmakers would hopefully approve the measure by the end of this week.
