ANKARA (AA) - Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said if PKK terrorist organization didn't keep its promise of withdrawal, Turkey would keep up operative struggle with terrorism.
Speaking on national TV channel CNN Turk, Arinc touched on the hot spots of the solution process and democratization in Turkey.
Arinc criticized PKK by not complying with its promises of withdrawal, and said, "Those who said they would comply with (jailed head of PKK) Ocalan's orders in the beginning, later turned their face to Qandil and stopped withdrawing."
Asked why democratization package did not cover Alevi rights, Arinc said the studies were not concluded yet, and added, "Rightful demands of Alevi citizens will be met as soon as studies conclude."
About 2014 presidential elections, "I wish President Abdullah Gul will turn back to politics."
He added that ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party would devote Gul one of the best positions.
Arinc also announced that by the end of October, Kurdish dictionary would be ready for publishing within the democratization package.
