Jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan has called on his Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to observe a ceasefire, a Kurdish news agency says. Ocalan also urged the PKK to seek a peaceful solution to their conflict with Turkey, Firat news agency says. I'm guessing he's been reading the papers and knows what the Turks have planned. Or the Turkish Truncheon Team paid him a visit. | Ocalan's statement was released from prison through his lawyers.
The PKK separatists implemented a five-year unilateral ceasefire after Ocalan was arrested in 1999, but resumed armed activities in 2004.
