BRUSSELS

The PKK terrorist organization's so-called senior members appeared at a protest rally in Brussels on Wednesday.

The rally was held in front of the EU Parliament in Belgium's capital to express support for the terrorist group's convicted ringleader Abdullah Ocalan.

Wanted terrorists Zubeyir Aydar and Adem Uzun were seen at the rally.

Protesters wore T-shirts with photos of PKK terrorist organization head Abdullah Ocalan on them and chanted pro-PKK slogans.

Zubeyir Aydar and Adem Uzun have been known to be living in Brussels for years.

The US designated Aydar in 2009 and Uzun in 2011 as significant foreign narcotics traffickers.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
