Turkish premier vows to fight against terror

ISTANBUL (A.A) - August 22, 2011 - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to maintain country's fight against terror within the boundaries of law and without taking any steps back from democracy, justice, equality and rule of law.  
Speaking at a fast-breaking dinner of his ruling Justice & Development (AK) Party in Istanbul, Prime Minister Erdogan said, "our government is determined to do every thing necessary in the fight against terrorism including military operations."
"Turkey has grown up and become one of the most distinguished countries of the world with its democracy. There are some circles trying to ambush our democracy with sabotages, propaganda. They think that they could stop Turkey. But they will fail. We will not allow them to reach their heinous targets," he said. 
He said, "I reiterate once again that our government embrace all citizens equally. No one can compare our Kurdish citizens with the PKK terrorist organization."
"Turkey will not descent into vortex of terrorism. We will not allow terrorists to disturb our social psychology and tranquillity. Those who attempt to ambush democracy will receive their due punishment. We will not let terrorism prevail," he said. 
"Those, who cannot distance themselves from terrorism and murder, betray their own people. They should understand the fact that there is no other way except from the legitimate ground which is the Turkish parliament. There is no other option. They will come to the parliament after the beginning of the new legislative year on October 1. Turkey will never make concessions from its target of further democracy, freedoms, justice, prosperity and tranquillity," he added.
