Turkish separatist PKK suspends peace deal with Erdogan

The separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has halted the withdrawal of its forces from Turkey, as per its pledge under a peace plan with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, but will not resume its campaign of violence against Turkish targets. This is reported by the Hurriyet daily. PKK leaders accuse the Turkish government of not taking the required steps for solving the Kurdish issue and “implementing the process of democratization.”
