Kurdish Rebels Extend Cease-Fire Against Turkey | AP
A leader of Kurdish rebels seeking greater autonomy in Turkey said Thursday the group will extend its unilateral cease-fire for another month in hopes of opening talks with Turkish leaders.
Murad Karialan, the co-president of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, said there is a possibility for an open-ended halt to attacks if Turkey agrees to concessions such as releasing jailed Kurdish politicians.
But Turkey has ignored all PKK cease-fire declarations in the past.
