World | Turkey The battle at Semdinli in Hakkari province, near the border with Iraq, re-kindled the conflict in the region and prompted the armed forces to hit Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets inside northern Iraq. The PKK militants touched off the fighting with an attack on an army border unit at about 2 a.m. (7 p.m. EDT) and 14 soldiers were wounded, the General Staff said in a statement on its website. The wounded have been transferred to hospitals. "Reinforcements were sent to the region and throughout the night support was provided to the conflict zone by attack helicopters and artillery. Separately, the Air Force struck targets identified in the northern region of Iraq," it said. Eight soldiers were killed in the attack on the military base and two further soldiers died when they trod on a land mine in Hakkari. "Our fight will continue until the terrorist organization has been annihilated," said Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan. Far-right MHP party leader Devlet Bahceli said Erdogan was the architect of the current situation. He called for a meeting on Monday of the National Security Council and the re-introduction of a state of emergency in southeast Turkey, which ended in 2002, when Erdogan's AK Party came to power. The military warned on Friday the PKK might intensify its operations over the summer, when warmer weather brings increased infiltration of PKK guerrillas from the mountains of northern Iraq. Several thousand rebels are based there. Before the latest battle, some 130 militants were estimated to have been killed in the last four months -- mostly in an air raid on northern Iraq, the military told a press briefing. Forty-three security personnel were killed in the period. PKK activity generally takes the form of remote-controlled bomb attacks on military convoys, raids on small military outposts and firefights in the mountains of southeast Turkey. The PKK branded terrorists by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, said this month they had scrapped a year-old unilateral ceasefire and resumed attacks against Turkish forces because of military operations against them. The ceasefire had come as Erdogan's government worked on plans to boost Kurdish rights to help end the conflict. However, the process has faltered and it suffered a setback in December when the Constitutional Court banned the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) on charges of links to the PKK. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict since the PKK launched its insurgency in 1984 with the aim of creating an ethnic homeland in the country's southeast. The rebels say they now want greater rights and autonomy for Turkey's estimated 12-15 million Kurds.

BULENT.KAYA Report As Abusive Jun 19, 2010 8:27am EDT The Turks need to get out of Kurdistan. It is sickening that they protest Israeli’s illegal occupation of Gaza while continuing their genocidal campaigns in Kuridistan – even invading Iraq with impunity. I guess that’s just some of the perks of being an American ally. Someone’s got to use up all that ammunition…just keep shooting, we’ll make more… cranston Report As Abusive Jun 19, 2010 9:41am EDT The article leaves out that this offensive included the bombardment of Kurdish Northern Iraq by Turkish Jets. Mr. “thou shalt not kill” Erdogan reveals his true stripes as well as demonstrating that the outrage on the blockade running flotilla was a cynical maneuver on his part to strengthen the power of his Islamist party over the secular parties of Turkey and strengthen his ties with the radical Islamic nations. You can predict the end of secular democracy in Turkey in the near future. gemini51 Report As Abusive Jun 19, 2010 9:58am EDT Well when is Turkey going to give the Kurds back their country. 2faced – when they scream & threaten Israel re the so called Palestinians (READ JORDANIANS) & yet they murder the Kurds for much of same the reasons. How come all the Leftists & “Palistinian” supporters & the Press are not up in arms screaming about the injustice? jerryatric Report As Abusive See All Comments (4) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
