Unidentified assailants on Wednesday killed five police and a civilian driver in an attack in southern province of  Diyarbakýr, hours before the Turkish Parliament approved the extension of the military’s mandate to conduct cross border operations against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, for a year.

The assailants raked a police bus with automatic weapons and hand grenades around 6 p.m. local time killing six and injuring at least 20 people, according to Interior Minister Beþir Atalay.

I am not entirely sure if it is going for worse as the winter is coming. Winter goes relatively quite normally.

But I must say that the developments are quite interesting.

This time, it seems to me, people started to question of the army´s stance and its ability to handle these attacks!

I have been reading many columnists from various papers and many of them have been talking about ´this is a never ending war; it has been 40 years; that is enough; this  wont go away with the way we have been dealing with this, something got to be done ´ etc

 You are right, the heavy snow makes it hard for even PKK to do anything. My husband who was in the army until February this year said that some were hiding in mountain caves. They were sent out to look for them. There´s still operations during the winter, but generally not on a large scale.

 

It´s hard to believe that people are starting to question the army´s stance, but þükürler olsun if they are waking up I guess seeing so much death in the media takes it´s toll on the general population who may not used to heavy graphic detail in the same way as it´s presented now.

The way you speak is really strange... like what was done  was right around there... and all the guilt belongs to government...

 

i guess it is you who got blind with prentending to be modern and democratic...

 Simply your saying "even PKK" says enough to me... it gives false meaning...

 

this is not a war! this is a simple game that both sides love to play and only poor and unsecured soldiers die!... Its all politic... and Turkish government cannot make anything alone... Because unfortunately EU and USA has more power
