The PKK were included in 2002 on the list of terrorist organisations held by the EU. It's a long list.

People who have spent long periods on neuroleptic medication are familiar with the deadening effect it produces, its effect on physical well-being. It requires the utmost in personal resources to maintain any kind of fulfilling or enjoyable lifestyle while taking these drugs.
