I think there are between 100 and 200 thousand deployed there. A bit of overkill for one's own "citizens."<BR/><BR/>There will also need to be an end to Ankara's black ops, and that could have started with a transparent investigation of Semdinli, but Ankara has messed up that as well.<BR/><BR/>The biggest problems will come from Ankara, since they have never given a nanosecond's thought to negotiation. Nor do they want any outsiders in "the region." They have been hostile to outsiders going to "the region" for a reason. . . especially if the outsider happens to be a journalist. But they were that way during the Armenian genocide too.

The analogy to the IRA and the ETA is very useful.<BR/><BR/>One thing that the PKK will have to give some serious thought to, and I'm sure the same will apply to the ETA, is one critical step in the IRA model -- i.e., demilitarization of the group and the decomishioning of weapons.Charles Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614875950171851519noreply@blogger.com
