Suspected members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have launched a campaign of “reckless” attacks, Turkish President Abdullah Gül said today following deadly raids on Turkish troops in the eastern province of Hakkari, daily Hürriyet has reported.
"The terror organization has embarked on a reckless plan in Ramadan. Our security forces have begun fighting by taking precautionary measures to avoid giving any chances [to the PKK]," Gül wrote on his Twitter account. Gül also expressed condolences to the families of soldiers killed late last night.
Six soldiers and two village guards were killed in the eastern province late last night.
"Those who are resorting to violence should return from the wrong path they find themselves on," the president said.
