Turkish army to continue PKK offensive-Erdogan |
2007-12-18 |
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday the military would press on with its operations against Kurdish guerrillas after a series of cross-border actions into Iraq in recent days. "Our army is doing whatever is necessary. Our security forces will continue to do whatever is necessary," Erdogan told a news conference when asked about reports of a limited land offensive against the PKK in northern Iraq on Tuesday. A senior Turkish military official, who declined to be named, told Reuters earlier Turkish troops engaged in a limited clash with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) across the border. |
