Turkish PM - Kurdish rebel truce call is "positive development"


ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan welcomed as a "positive development" a ceasefire call by jailed Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Ocalan on Thursday but said the important part would be its implementation.

"I see the call, the invitation, as a positive development. However, of course what really matters is to implement this call. What happens in its implementation is very important," Erdogan told reporters during a visit to the Netherlands.
