Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) Executive Committee member Murat Karayılan spoke to Sterk TV about the need for Kurdish groups to avoid conflict and in-fighting.

Karayılan stated that the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP)’s establishment of new positions in the areas where PKK guerrilla forces are located is creating tension in the region. He criticised the KDP but said, “the PKK is against the war between Kurds”.
