Turkey welcomes PKK operations in Belgium

At a joint conference with his New Zealander counterpart Murray McCully in Ankara, Davutoglu thanked Belgian authorities for their cooperation.

Belgian Police launched a wide-scale operation against PKK in Belgium Thursday morning, raiding 25 locations including the studios of ROJ TV, broadcast organ of PKK, in Denderleeuw town near Brussels.

The Police arrested several members of the organization including former legislator of the dissolved Democratic Party, Remzi Kartal, and his assistant Zubeyr Aydar.

"We are very pleased because Belgium fulfilled its responsibility," said Davutoglu.

Davutoglu who pointed out that the operation still continued refused to comment on the specifics.

"We really appreciate the responsible and determined stance of the Belgian authorities. We hope that terrorists would not be able to find suitable platforms for their acts in Europe. Belgium's stance following the suit of Italy and France, is a clear message to those who provide resources to acts of terror," said Davutoglu.
