Turkish soldiers killed in ambush


Gunmen in Turkey have killed seven soldiers and wounded three others in an attack on a paramilitary post in the country's Tokat province, local officials have said.

The soldiers were on patrol in a mountainous area near the town of Resadiye when they came under fire, a provincial governor told the Anatolia news agency.

The identity of the attackers was not clear, but ethnic tensions have risen in the past few weeks, ahead of a court case hearing aimed at closing Turkey's largest pro-Kurdish party.

Turkey's Constitutional Court will being deliberations on Tuesday over whether to shut down the Democratic Society Party, which is often accused of being a front for a Kurdish rebel group.

Violent street protests by Kurdish separatist supporters have been seen across the country in the past few weeks, leaving two people dead and several injured.

The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which has carried out past attacks, is fighting for autonomy in Turkey's predominantly Kurdish south-east.

Attacks in the Tokat region are rare, with the last nearly a decade ago in 2001.

In that incident, two two Turkish soldiers were killed when attackers used rocket launchers to ambush security forces.

Erdogan was punched


During Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Arakli province (Trabzon) a citizen punched Erdogan in his stomach, Turkish Hurriyet daily reports. Prime Minister was to deliver a speech when one of the citizens came up to him and punched him in his stomach. The Turkish Premier screamed with pain. Erdogan’s body guards immediately rendered the assaulter, Turan Demir, harmless. The latter explained he just wanted to embrace Erdogan and hit him accidentally.

Good to see the Kurds are following the Geneva convention and not attacking civilians.

Ten soldiers killed in SE Turkey bomb-sources

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, April 29 (Reuters) - Ten Turkish soldiers were killed in a bomb explosion on Wednesday in the mainly Kurdish southeast, security sources said, in the deadliest attack on security forces in months.

A security source, who declined to be named, told Reuters the remotely-detonated bomb, was the work of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) separatist guerrillas. Anatolian state news agency said nine soldiers were killed.

The military launched ground and air operations against the separatists following the blast in the province of Diyarbakir, which occurred shortly before the armed forces commander, General Ilker Basbug, was to give a news conference in Ankara.

Turkish security forces are fighting PKK rebels in a 25-year separatist conflict that has claimed the lives of 40,00 people.

The PKK, branded a terrorist organisation by Washington and the European Union, took up arms in 1984 to carve out an ethnic homeland in the predominantly Kurdish southeast Turkey.

The government has recently launched a crackdown on the Kurdish militants and Kurdish politicians suspected of having links with the PKK in raids that threaten to inflame tensions in the mostly Kurdish southeast.

Turkey has also improved cooperation with northern Iraqi authorities against PKK guerrillas based in Iraq from where they stage attacks into Turkish territory. (Writing by Thomas Grove and Ibon Villelabeitia)
