Istanbul, Sept 20, 2015 (AFP) — More than 100,000 people attended a rally condemning the "terrorism" of the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Sunday in Istanbul, AFP reporters estimated.
The rally, to be addressed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, comes two months into a major military offensive against the Kurdish rebels, who have responded with a string of bloody attacks on the security forces.
