PKK calls on Kurds to rise up
Kurdish PKK rebels called on the Kurdish people in Turkey to rise up after an airstrike launched by the Turkish army along the country's border with Iraq killed 35 Kurds.

Bahuz Ardal, senior commander at the PKK armed wing, urged the Kurdish people, mainly in the provinces of Hakkari Sirnak located near Iraq, to rise up, voice their rejection of this massacre, and call for the punishment of the perpetrators.         

Turkish warplanes mistakenly killed 35 smugglers and other villagers in an operation targeting Kurdish rebels in Iraq, a senior official said one of the largest one-day civilian death tolls during Turkey's 27-year drive against the guerrillas.          

The killings spurred angry demonstrations in Istanbul on Thursday and several cities in the mostly Kurdish southeast, and were the latest incident of violence to undermine the Turkish government's efforts to appease the aggrieved Kurdish minority by granting it more cultural freedoms.
