A Kurdish militant group on Sunday threatened to stage guerrilla attacks on hydroelectric dams being built in southeastern Turkey, accusing the government of violating a fragile ceasefire.
The Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) said in a statement quoted by the pro-Kurdish Firat news agency that the building of the dams was aimed at displacing people and helping the Turkish military rather than creating energy.
Turkish forces and the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have largely observed a ceasefire since 2013 but tensions have flared again in recent months as a final deal remains elusive.
The KCK -- considered the urban wing of the PKK -- said it would use all means, including guerrilla attacks, to prevent the construction of dams.
