MESOP LATEST : RETURNS ARMED PKK STRUGGLE ?

Armed Kurdish Group Kidnaps Two Turkish Soldiers – MESOP 2014-04-28 – An armed Kurdish group has abducted two Turkish soldiers in the southeast of the country, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported Sunday, AFP reported.

The abduction took place late Saturday, after the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) issued a statement warning of a possible return to violence. However it was not clear whether the kidnappers were linked to the PKK, which declared a landmark truce with the Turkish state last March. Anatolia said the assailants seized the soldiers after stopping a bus on a highway near the town of Lice which had been blocked by Kurdish protesters demonstrating against the construction of a military outpost. http://www.focus-fen.net
