/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia has for the first time officially
characterized the PKK as a terrorist organization, but has asserted
that Turkey should not engage in a military operation, but instead
focus on a diplomatic war aimed at cutting PKK support systems outside
of Turkey. Comments came from Kremlin press secretary Dimitry Peskov
yesterday in Moscow.
"We see the PKK actions as terror attacks, and we fully condemn
them. We think that Turkey has the right to defend itself. We believe
that the path towards finding a solution lies in dialogue and meetings.
Ankara needs to carry out its war by sitting down at the table with
certain nations who are giving marked support to the PKK," said Peskov,
