PKK in Iran’s Perspective: The Attitudes and The Possibility of a Joint Struggle
The fight against terrorism requires some complementary components along with the primary and ontological conditions. The ontological requirements refer to the struggle strategies of the target state, its theme of military struggle, and its intervention on the social factors which produce and reproduce terrorism. These elements represent the precondition and the foundation of the fight against terrorism. Apart from them, there are also several complementary factors for the struggle against terrorism. Besides their complementary nature, these factors have the potential to affect the success of these struggles.
