Prime ministerial adviser Yalcin Akdogan said the intelligence services were holding discussions with Ocalan:Turkey is holding talks with the jailed head of the PKK Kurdish militant group, Abdullah Ocalan, to push for its disarmament, officials say.....The Turkish prime minister's top political adviser said the government had concluded that it would be unlikely to defeat the outlawed PKK militarily.Link:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20880944The goal is the disarmament of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party)...The government supports any dialogue to this end that could result in a halt to violence. You cannot get results and abolish an organisation only with armed struggle.
Interesting timing when one looks at the international aspects of the conflict next door in Syria.
