U.S. Department of State urges PKK to end attacks
The State Department said Friday that Turkey had well-established democratic procedures in place to determine the legal circumstances of two pro-Kurdish party members blamed for promoting terrorism.
“We’d expect that Turkey will obviously follow its own democratic procedures in that regard,” spokesman Mark Toner said in response to a question about an investigation into Pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chairs, APA reports quoting Anadoly Agency.

Toner also reiterated the U.S. position that Turkey has the right to self-defense and urged the PKK to end violence and “recommit themselves to the peace process”.

The process was stalled after the murder of Turkish police officers and soldiers earlier this month for which the PKK has claimed responsibility.
