PKK is a terrorist organization because they have been killing civilians. Especially indiscriminate killings through bombings market places, public meetings. Most of the time their victims have been Kurdish people.
A terrorist is a terrorist only when Americans are targeted?

- baursak 9y agoAll three news stories describe the same event -- Dec 2016 stadium attack by TAK, which is not PKK. TAK broke out of PKK as a new separate group because of PKK's willingness to compromise with Turkey. So again, can you substantiate your claim that modern PKK is a terrorist organization?
- mentalpiracy 9y agoFor the purposes of US foreign policy, apparently yes. Terrorists kill Americans, and the US won't deal with terrorists. But if you don't kill Americans... well, then the US can label you separatists or independents or some other creative euphemism. If you're useful to them. Cynical take, and I certainly don't agree with it myself, but nonetheless that's how it works.
