Whose side will Russia take in Kurdish issue?

At present Turkey distances away from the USA, and Russia should promote the process.

November 3, 2007
The fact that the Kurdistan Workers Party, according to the U.S. Department of States, is "a common enemy for Turkey and the USA" is already clear. What could hardly be expected was that the Kremlin subscribed to this opinion as well. "We consider the activities of the Kurdistan Workers Party to be terrorist attacks and we condemn them. We think that Turkey has the right to protect itself. But we believe that the only way to solve the problem is the dialogue. Ankara needs to start negotiating with a number of countries supporting the Kurdistan Workers Party", announced the Kremlin Press-Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
