Turkey’s top security body has ignored the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK’s, one-month cease-fire, saying the security forces’ fight against terrorism will continue without concessions.
Following a six-hour meeting in Istanbul on Thursday, the National Security Council, or MGK, said in a written statement, “We have emphasized the strong belief that our nation will continue to behave with common sense and not allow the [PKK] to attain their wicked objectives by bringing disorder, by weakening the unity of the people or by damaging social peace.”
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Turkey.
