Current Events : Why Is The Kurdish Rebel Organization PKK Considered A Terrorist Organization By The US And The EU

The PKK, or the Kurdistan Workers Party, has been fighting for Kurdish autonomy from Turkey since 1984. I mean, I can see groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, which commit suicide bombings against innocent civilians, to be terrorist groups, but Ive never turned on the news and heard of the PKK committing a terrorist attack.
