ANKARA - Turkish premier said Tuesday that the terrorist organization PKK had been isolated both in Turkey and abroad, adding that the organization was left alone on its own.
"Everyone has began abandoning terrorism and terrorists. And the terrorist organization will either renounce this path or it will be abandoned on this path," Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a parliamentary meeting of his Justice and Development (AK) Party.
The premier said the Turkish Armed Forces had been dealing "new major blow" on the terrorist organization over the last couple of weeks.
"Terrorism can have no excuse and everyone has seen the inhumane face of the terrorist organization. And it is high time for those who have chosen the path of terrorism to see this fact," Erdogan said.
Erdogan said the government had been taking necessary measures "to overcome this menace," adding that his government would soon announce a series of "new steps" to be taken to boost economic and social development in eastern and southeastern Turkey.
