Arbil, IRAQ: A woman PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) guerrilla fighter takes lessons from her commander during practice in a camp near Arbil in the Haqourqi mountains, northern Iraq, 11 August 2005. "PKK can give up arms if its secured by constitution", Karayilan said. The PKK, which has stepped up violence in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast over the past few months, retreated to northern Iraq after a unilateral ceasefire it declared in 1999 in its war with Ankara. The militants began sneaking back after they called off the truce in June 2004. The Kurdish conflict in Turkey has claimed some 37,000 lives since 1984 when the PKK took up arms for Kurdish self-rule in the country's southeast.
