The military said it also regularly staged cross-border land operations inside neighboring Iraq.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> In response, the PKK increased its attacks on troops and police officials, mostly through the use of improvised explosive devices. It killed nearly 30 officials in just two attacks, sparking civil strife.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> On Tuesday,<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Sept. 8,<\/span> thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Ankara and other cities to condemn the PKK assaults in Turkey\u2019s predominantly eastern and southeastern provinces.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> The demonstrators targeted more than 100 buildings of a pro-Kurdish party and ransacked businesses <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">shows <\/span>they believed <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">are<\/span> to be owned by Kurds. The party\u2019s headquarters in Ankara also was set <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">to <\/span>afire.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> The military declared more than 100 designated military zones in the country\u2019s Kurdish areas. The government declared a curfew in Cizre, a Kurdish town.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Before July 20, there was relative calm and only sporadic clashes since <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">after<\/span> the PKK<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0declared a unilateral cease-fire in 2013. The government was in indirect peace talks with the PKK to end the three decades of\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">-long <\/span>fighting that has claimed nearly 40,000 lives.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the PKK of secretly stockpiling bombs and weaponry during the cease-fire.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> &#8220;The top brass is obviously badly distracted by renewed fighting, the worst in the past several years,&#8221; a senior military officer said. &#8220;No one wants to hear the words \u2018projects\u2019 or \u2018programs\u2019 or \u2018procurement\u2019 other than the urgent equipment needed to support the armed forces.&#8221;<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> One procurement official said that <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">although <\/span>routine procurement\u00a0meetings are generally continuing\u00a0as scheduled, despite some cancellations.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> &#8220;The morale is very low. Even procurement meetings see discussions about the military side of the asymmetrical war we are now fighting,&#8221; he observed.\u00a0<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> A senior Turkish industry source said,\u00a0&#8220;We were politely warned [by the military] that this is no time to discuss programs or business.&#8221;<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> And the chief of the Ankara offices of a European company said,\u00a0&#8220;We fear that things may go further out of control. This is not time to do business here.&#8221;<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> But an official from a US manufacturer was more cautious: &#8220;This is an awful spiral of violence. We expect to see relative calm after the elections.&#8221;<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Turkey has scheduled\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">decided to re<\/span>new parliamentary elections on Nov. 1 because\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">after<\/span>\u00a0political parties failed to agree on formation of a coalition government following inconclusive poll results on June 7.\u00a0<br\/>
