The Kurdish group PKK has released three German hostages in Turkey.
The tourists were seized from their camp on Mount Ararat in Turkey's eastern Agri province on 9 July.My first observation is that climbers are indeed allowed on Mount Ararat, contrary to popular Armenian belief, and the other that the PKK is becoming a real thorn on Turkey's political ambitions.
The PKK had vowed not to release them unless Germany renounced its crackdown on the group, defined as a terrorist organisation by the US, EU and Turkey.
