Oh, yeah, the Turks have been killing them all this time:
"Kurdish rebels set holiday cease-fire
SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq - A Kurdish rebel group yesterday declared a nine-day holiday cease-fire in their fight against Turkey, a spokesman said, calling it a "first step toward peace."
The unilateral cease-fire will begin today as the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha gets under way, according to Ahmed Deniz, a spokesman for the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which has bases in northern Iraq. He said the group's military and political leadership would like to resolve its conflict with Turkey peacefully.
Turkey has ignored a series of PKK cease-fire declarations in the past, vowing to fight until all militants are killed or surrender. The rebels are fighting for autonomy in the predominantly Kurdish-inhabited southeast Turkey. The fight has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people since 1984.
Yeah, MOSTLY KURDS!! Just another example of Turkey's genocidal tendencies; however, since they are a close ally (and the Kurds are infiltrated by Israel's Mossad)
This year, Turkey has launched several air strikes, including one Friday, and one major ground operation against rebel bases across Iraq's border. Eid al-Adha, an important Muslim holiday, lasts four days, but Deniz said the cease-fire would continue for nine days. The festival begins after the conclusion of the hajj pilgrimage, which ends today this year.

Yup, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth -- to be found NOWHERE in the AMERIKAN MSM!!!!
