PKK's armed struggle

The PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) is a Kurdish militant organization that has engaged in an armed conflict with Turkey since the 1980s. They seek greater Kurdish autonomy and rights, which they believe cannot be achieved through political means alone. Their armed struggle involves guerrilla tactics, including attacks on military and government targets. The Turkish government considers the PKK a terrorist organization and has responded with military operations. The conflict is rooted in issues of ethnicity, political repression, and demands for self-determination, leading to a prolonged and complex struggle with significant regional implications.
