The PKK is responsible for killing over 30,000 Turkish civilians back in the 80s and 90s. That's roughly ten times the number of people that died in 9/11 attacks. If that doesn't make them a terrorist organization... well, I don't know what to tell you.

Turkey is responsible for executing 20,000 Kurdish civilians and destroying several thousands villages in the same conflict. They're still destroying Kurdish cities today, Sur, Sirnak, Nusaybin, Cizre, ... Burning civilians alive by hundreds in one incident. If that doesn't make them a terrorist organization... well, I don't know what to tell you. It's a war.

[citation needed] Turkey is definitely not blameless in this conflict, but I want to see some reliable sources for the outrageous claims you just made.
