ROME - Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal, who is currently in Italian capital Rome to attend meetings of the Socialist International, said on Saturday, ''we have received an information claiming that the terrorist organization PKK/KADEK had founded a party in Kirkuk, Iraq.''
Responding questions of Turkish journalists, Baykal said, ''the terrorist organization PKK/KADEK has been launching new initiatives in northern Iraq. It is a serious issue for Turkey. The issue should be followed.''
''We have received an information claiming that the terrorist organization PKK/KADEK had founded a party in Kirkuk, Iraq. It is an extremely serious development. It is a well-known fact that only target of the terrorist organization PKK/KADEK is Turkey. Therefore, we should not allow such initiatives,'' he added.
