PKK remains on Euro terror list

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said the terrorist organization PKK remained on a European Union list of terrorist groups despite an EU court ruling that overturned Thursday a European Council decision to place the group on the blacklist. "Our initial analysis of the ruling suggests that the court issued an opinion on whether the European Council's decision complied with the EU laws, not on whether the PKK/KONGRA-GEL is a terrorist organization," the MFA spokesman said in a written response to a question. "Allegations that the group was removed from the EU list were untrue," the spokesman said.
