"The Kurdish stalemate is multi-dimensional, internationalized, protracted and very dirty. Yet its solution requires steadfast, long-term endeavors and widespread political and public support. There are certainly no quick fixes," Aktar said.

While Turkey suggested that Paris killings may be related to internal quarrel within the organization, some Kurdish politicians hinted that Iran may be behind the assassinations.

Recalling that Iranian intelligence was responsible for some assassinations in Europe in the past, BDP deputy chairperson Gulten Kisanak on Wednesday urged the Turkish authorities to take Iran's role into consideration. Another leading member of BDP, Ahmet Turk, also implicated Iran as suspect.

Turkey and Iran are at odds over the Syrian situation. The Turkish government has publicly accused Iran of sheltering PKK rebels.

On Wednesday, a Kurdish arms dealer named Aslan Usayan was shot dead in Russia's capital Moscow, raising further speculations that some powers did not want Turkey to resolve Kurdish problem. Usayanis was believed to be a supplier for the PKK. It is not known who killed Usayanis.
