Probably some of you already know about the PKK attacks targeting Turkish soldiers and civillians, and the decision of Turkey to perform a cross-border operation to destroy the PKK camps in North Iraq.
I was having a look at well-known international newspapers to see their comments on the subject and realized that their perception of the PKK and that of people of Turkey are quite different. I am starting this thread to figure out what the international community thinks about the PKK. Is it a terrorist organisation? Or is it a legitimate one? What do the media in your country say about it? What do your people think? And, of course, what do you think?
I intentionally avoided giving any links about the PKK as I would like to know what you would say if you were asked about it just right now. Still, it might be a good idea to give a shortcut for those who wants to search for the PKK in the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKK
And a final note: Please avoid any form of flaming as the subject is really touchy.
Thanks in advance.
