The '''Kurdish Worker Party''', also known as the '''PKK''', is considered a [[terrorist]] organization by the [[United States]] and [[Europe]]. This Kurdish group has been responsible for violent campaigns to push for an independent Kurdish state in [[Turkey]]. Since 1978, more than 37,000 people have been killed in the clash between the Kurdish rebels and the Turkish security forces, with both sides committing significant [[human rights]] abuses. Estimates for Turkish military deaths throughout the conflict reach nearly 7,000 soldiers with around 10,000 more suffering permanent injuries.
