ANKARA (Reuters) - The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group could potentially restart peace talks with the Turkish government, after President Tayyip Erdogan's main ally last week revived hopes of ending the 40-year-old conflict.
But underscoring the difficult road ahead, just one day after Erdogan's ally Devlet Bahceli made his proposal, the PKK claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a defence industry firm in Ankara, prompting Turkey to hit back at the militia in Iraq and Syria.
