| The PKK in Iraq - Turkey |
 |
October 2006
As the possibility of a Turkish invasion of
Northern Iraq increases, we offer you an
exclusive report filmed inside an Iraqi-based
PKK base. Includes footage of PKK fighters
training.
There are believed to be thousands of PKK
fighters living in these remote mountains on
the Iraqi side of the Turkish border. "I left
my gun and went to Europe, to lobby for a
peaceful solution. But our voices are
ignored", complains one member. Many of the
fighters here lived in Europe as refugees,
before returning to join the PKK.

January 2005
Following a spate of recent attacks, Turkey
is desperate to eliminate the PKK. But as
this exclusive report reveals, uprooting them
from their heavily armed base in Northern
Iraq will be difficult.
The PKK have effectively set up their own
mini-state in the mountains, complete with
dental surgeries and medical clinics and
powered by hydroelectricity. This retreat is
guarded by an army of 10,000, making it
difficult for the Turks to approach. But with
American support, Turkey hopes it will
finally crush the rebel movement.
