Kurdish rebel boss in truce plea

Version 0 of 1.

Jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan has called on his Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to observe a ceasefire, a Kurdish news agency says.

Ocalan also urged the PKK to seek a peaceful solution to their conflict with Turkey, Firat news agency says.

Ocalan's statement was released from prison through his lawyers.

The PKK separatists implemented a five-year unilateral ceasefire after Ocalan was arrested in 1999, but resumed armed activities in 2004.
