New Zealand designates PKK as terrorist group
11 February 2010 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
ANKARA -- New Zealand listed four foreign groups as terrorist entities on Wednesday, including the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), making it possible to freeze their funds or assets and making it illegal for citizens to help them. It is the first time the country has designated terrorist entities not listed as such by the United Nations.
The four are Spain’s Basque Homeland and Freedom (ETA), the PKK, Colombia’s Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) leftist guerrilla group and the Somalia-based al Shabaab. The PKK, which took up arms in 1984 to fight for an ethnic homeland in southeastern Turkey, is already listed as a terrorist organization by a large majority of the international community including US and the EU, in addition to Turkey.
