Kurdish separatism in Turkey

European Union Council President Donald Tusk has condemned the deadly attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK), while also voicing concern over the recent attacks on daily Hürriyet as well as the bureaus of the Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP).

Donald Tusk, the president of the European Union Council, has voiced his concern over the recent attacks on the bureaus of the Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP), as well as daily Hürriyet, in remarks at a joint press conference with President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an in Ankara late on Sept 9. 

The U.S. State Department on Sept. 9 condemned the latest attacks against the Kurdish problem-focused Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), as well as the second attack targeting Hürriyet headquarters in Istanbul on Sept. 8.

State spokesperson John Kirby said attacks against HDP offices across Turkey were "unacceptable," while also condemning mob violence targeting media outlets.

One police officer was killed and three were wounded in an attack by suspected members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the eastern province of Tunceli on Sept. 9. 

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an said the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has used the time of the peace process to pile up arms and that they stocked weapons in very serious dimensions.

This is not new information. This information was served to the pro-government media in the days when PKK attacks began ascending. 

The main enemy of the pro-Kurdish People?s Democratic Party?s (HDP) turns out to be the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK). This group is proving its credentials as a terrorist organization once again, and seems more than ready to douse the fire with more petrol in the hope of benefiting from the conflagration.  

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu urged for calm amid rising tension across Turkey, in a series of tweets posted on Sept. 8. 

Davuto?lu said military operations against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) would continue "with determination," but people should not take matters into their own hands. 

Deputy Prime Minister Yalç?n Akdo?an has retaliated against the co-chair of the Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP), who earlier accused the government of supporting a campaign of ?lynching? and dragging the country into war after two nights of attacks against its offices.

Turkey is passing through a tough test to maintain societal peace, Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu has said, amid ongoing tension following deadly terrorist attacks that sparked violent public demonstrations across Turkey targeting citizens of Kurdish origin. 

A Dutch journalist who was detained in Turkey's southeastern province of Hakkari's Yüksekova district on Sept. 5 on grounds of "helping an armed terrorist organization," has been deported, Reuters reported on Sept.9.
