/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged
European Union countries on Saturday to extradite Kurdish rebels to
Turkey, saying they were failing to support Turkey's struggle.
"No EU country has extradited members of the PKK to Turkey, despite
labeling it as a terrorist organization," Erdogan said.
"We would like to see our friends beside us in this struggle," he said.
Meanwhile, Iraqi officials - including the defense minister - returned
home Saturday after talks in Ankara on Friday failed to produce any
breakthroughs.
Turkey has demanded the extradition of PKK leaders, and CNN-Turk
television, citing unidentified Iraqi officials, said Ankara is
seeking a total of 153 PKK members.
On the streets of Irbil, in the Kurdish controlled north of Iraq,
residents scoffed at the Turkish proposals, the Associated Press
reports.
