Turkish soldier killed in clash with Kurdish rebels; PKK claims car bomb attack

NKARA, Turkey — State-run television says Kurdish rebels have killed a soldier in a clash in southeast Turkey, prompting the military to launch a large-scale offensive in the area.

TRT television said the soldier was killed in fighting in Sirnak province, which borders Iraq, on Sunday.
The rebel group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack in central Turkey two days ago that killed a policeman and wounded 17 people.

Firat News, an agency close to the PKK, said Saturday the May 25 bombing was carried out in retaliation for a botched Turkish military airstrike in December that was aimed at the rebels but killed 34 civilians instead.

The PKK is fighting for autonomy in southeast Turkey. Tens of thousands have died since it took up arms in 1984.

SULI, May 29 (AKnews)- The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) is fully prepared to assume any role for protecting the lives of Kurds in any part of Kurdistan, including those in the disputed Jalawla district, remarked a PKK senior official.

Recently Jalawla Administrator Anwar Hussein called on the Turkish rebel group, based in Qandil Mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan Region, to send its guerrillas to the multiethnic district of Jalawla for protecting Kurds against the threats of the armed groups.

The demand was raised after a house in Jalawla which belonged to a Kurdish policeman was exploded by al-Qaeda militants. The policeman was warned to leave Jalawla by May 20 but he did not.  

In some areas of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq certain extremist groups have posed threats against the lives of Kurdish citizens and plan to stage war among the peoples in the area, said Ahmet Deniz, PKK' foreign relations chief.

Deniz demanded Baghdad and Erbil governments "to settle the issues of these areas [Jalawla and the rest of the disputed areas] and protect the brotherhood of their people.

"PKK calls for unity and protection of all, for unity of the nations and their protection… For whatever required from us we are ready and whatever responsibility assigned to us… we are ready to assume for our nation."

This demand by Jalawla administrator reflects merely "his own personal view," said Jabbar Yawar, spokesperson for Kurdistan armed forces and secretary for Kurdistan peshmarga (Kurdistan border guards) minister.

Yawar added according to law only peshmarga and Iraqi army are allowed to protect Jalawla and the disputed areas in Diyala province.

Baghdad and Erbil governments have been challenging each other over the ownership of a number of multiethnic areas in Diyala, Salahaddin and Nineveh province. The oil rich Kirkuk province is also among the disputed areas.

Kurdish officials, claim with figures, that the Kurds in the disputed areas, especially in Jalawla face life threats to leave the district. Thousands have left the areas for fear of their lives and those who remain fall prey for insurgents.  

This forced displacements in turn change the demography of these areas which are targets of  the Arabization process, running even after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, Kurds claim.
