Turkey: Local tribes condemn terrorism

More than 150 tribes from Turkey's southeast issue joint declaration against all types of terrorism

VAN, Turkey (AA) - Local tribes from southeastern Turkey made a joint declaration to denounce terrorism on Sunday.

Heads of as many as 181 tribes of Kurdish, Turkish and Arab origin from 16 provinces gathered Sunday in the Edremit district of Van province.

“We are against all sorts of terrorism, coups, and violence. As public intellectuals and heads of tribes of the region, we are ready to contribute to peace,” the declaration read. “We condemn PKK terrorism and we abide by rightful policies against terrorism.”

“We stand by our state in fighting terrorism,” it said.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU.

Since it resumed its decades-old armed campaign, PKK terror attacks martyred more than 600 security personnel and claimed lives of many civilians including women and children while around 7,000 terrorists were killed in army operations.
