Erdoğan: PKK has harmed Kurdish citizens the most
The PKK terrorist organization caused major harm to Turkey and Turkish society, particularly to Kurdish citizens, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said yesterday. Speaking at a rally in southeastern Şanlıurfa province, Erdoğan pointed out that the terrorist acts of the PKK targeted civilians, causing the killing of thousands. "These [PKK terrorists] killed unborn babies, innocent children and caused grief in many families," Erdoğan said, noting that when the terrorist organization failed to fight against the Turkish army, it targeted civilians, from teachers to health officers, road workers to farmers. "This organization never had the aim to defend the rights of our Kurdish brothers or any group in the region," he noted. In early 2013, under then-Prime Minister and current President Erdoğan, the Turkish government launched an initiative publicly known as the resolution process to end the decades-old conflict with the PKK. The process stalled in 2015 aft
