Erdoğan pledges faster pace in anti-terror campaign
EDİRNE
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on June 12 that his government would accelerate its anti-terror initiative as authorities await confirmation that PKK has laid down its arms.
“We are striving to permanently resolve a problem that has plagued our country for half a century. We want to completely remove the dark shadow of terror from our country and then from our region,” Erdoğan said at an event in the northwestern city of Edirne.
The latest phase of the government-backed initiative is contingent on confirmation from security authorities that PKK has disarmed.
