PKK’s latest guises added to EU terrorist list

The EU’s Official Gazette released over the weekend recognized that the two groups were continuations of the terrorist PKK.

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the EU decided to draw up a list of terrorist groups. In 2002, the PKK and DHKP-C terrorist groups were included on the list, but the former almost immediately assumed a new name.

Ankara has been lobbying the EU ever since not to reward the terrorist group’s game of musical names.
