Jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan has called on his Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to observe a ceasefire, a Kurdish news agency says. Ocalan also urged the PKK to seek a peaceful solution to their conflict with Turkey, Firat news agency says. | I'm guessing he's been reading the papers and knows what the Turks have planned. Or the Turkish Truncheon Team paid him a visit. |
Ocalan's statement was released from prison through his lawyers.
The PKK separatists implemented a five-year unilateral ceasefire after Ocalan was arrested in 1999, but resumed armed activities in 2004.
