‘PKK will be destructed’

Turkey will destroy the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and thereby remove this issue from the agenda, Haber7 newspaper quotes the head of the Turkish General Staff Necdet Ozel as saying. "Turkey has achieved considerable results in the fight against terrorism and the important thing was the use of alignment reconnaissance in this issue," Ozel said.

He stressed that over the past six months, the Turkish security forces neutralized 327 terrorists. 165 of them were killed, 50 - captured and 112 gave themselves up. Ozel also stressed that the Turkish Air Force destroyed 325 militants and wounded 320 as a result of special operations in Iraq.

He said that in October 2008 a single mechanism of fighting terror was created between Turkey, Iraq and the U.S. However, the agreement had no considerable results in combating terrorism.
