8 12 2008Hurriyet
The terror organization PKK said Monday it would halt attacks within Turkey for nine days in honor of the Feast of the Sacrifice, news agencies reported.
Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of the Sacrifice, began on Monday and will end on Thursday.
The PKK has repeatedly carried on attacks on Turkish soldiers, as well as civilians.
In September the PKK also pledged to halt attacks to mark the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. However the PKK terrorists killed 17 soldiers in an attack on a military outpost in eastern Turkey during the Ramadan holiday.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
