    Turkish foreign minister rules out early elections, views fight against PKK

    Ankara, 7 May: "Early elections and presidential election do not
    take place in our agenda. Rules and time schedule for elections are
    clear. We will not waste our time with such things," said Turkish
    Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Gul on Saturday
    [6 May].

    Speaking at a congress of the ruling Justice and Development Party
    (AKP) in Altindag town of Ankara, Gul said: "Since interest rates
    dropped, we could save nearly 100 quadrillion Turkish lira in the
    last three years. Now, we are able to allocate money to public
    services. These are great achievements. But there are some circles
    who feel uneasy about our achievements."

    "The terrorist organization PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party] is also
    uneasy about these. Therefore, it has given rise to its acts of
    violence. Our security forces have been trying to do everything
    in their power to prevent such acts. Also, we have been working on
    new laws with the aim of providing a more influential fight against
    terrorism. We will never make concessions from democracy, fundamental
    rights and freedoms," Gul added.
