PanARMENIAN.Net - The Turkish Interior Ministry is planning to
implement a system that would provide cash rewards for those who help
security forces capture members of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK), Today's Zaman said quoting a report in Milliyet daily.
The plan reportedly comes in response to the PKK's recently
intensified terrorist activities in city centers and rural areas of
the Southeast. An amendment made to Turkey's Counterterrorism Law
(TMK) in 2006 had already introduced the reward system, but a lack
of regulations prevented implementation of the system.
The ministry has reportedly ordered the Security General Directorate
to prepare a special regulation draft to put the system into
effect and to determine who will be paid the reward and under which
circumstances. The draft, which has been sent to the Finance Ministry
and the Interior Ministry, will be finalized by bureaucrats at these
ministries and will go into effect as soon as it is published in the
Official Gazette. Once the system is put into action, those who report
the identity or location of a person involved in terrorist activity
will be given a cash reward.
