The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has deployed armed forces back to Turkey, said Cemil Bayık, a senior leader of the outlawed organization, also retreting his pessimism about the recent talks between the Turkish government and the PKK.
The PKK will restart fights in case killings of Kurds continue in Kobane, the Syrian border town where the clashes between the armed Kurdish forces and Islamist State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have contiued since more than three weeks.
News agencies report that ISIL keeps advancing in and outside the town, from where more than 150,000 people fled to Turkey.
"If things continue this way, the guerrilas will fight to defend our people. The core task of the guerillas is to defend the people," Bayık reportedly said.
