Turkey on the brink of civil war?
The unsettled Kurdish issue may finally result in large-scale conflicts inside Turkey, PPK commander Duran Kalkan finds.
Turkish Milliyet reports that these words are in resonance with the statements made by Devlet Bahçeli, leader of Turkey's ultra right wing party, who labeled the recent street disorders as "repetition of rebellion".

In an interview with German journalists, PPK leader said those disorders were stopped by the demand of former party leader Abdullah Ocalan who is against the armed solution of Kurdish issue. "Any tension now may lead to outbreak," Kalkan said.
