I didn't watch his speach, so if he said "rendered ineffective" which is widely using by the Turkish Media as a meaning of, either killed or captured alive, thus the title might be misleading.

I'd like to here these news from military. Erdogan has no right to take credit from recent events.

That's bad news for the sponsors of PKK.

I think the government must block the bank account of PKK in Switzerland. Isnt that possible? Yes it is.. Why they dont doing it than? PKK can only be defeated if the politicans really want it. With killing you cant defeat a terrorist organisation that uses guerilla tactics.
