The terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) extended a ceasefire with Turkey by one month on Thursday, a move they said is meant to encourage efforts to end a war that has killed more than 40,000 people.
Murat Karayilan, the terrorist organization’s acting leader, told reporters in northern Iraq near terror bases the group could renew its fight after the month lapses if Turkey steps up military operations and fails to make progress towards a lasting settlement.
Turkey has in the past rejected the PKK’s one-sided ceasefires — it has declared eight since 1993 — and continued operations against the group, branded a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and European Union.
