Od te zasjede, parlamentarni pregovori između AKP-a i BDP-a su prekinuti, jer je AKP pod pritiskom da zauzme čvrst stav prema terorizmu, a time i prema BDP-u, koga mnogi smatraju legalnim političkim krilom PKK.
Since the ambush, parliamentary negotiations between AKP and BDP have ceased, as the AKP is under pressure to take a tough line against the terrorism – and by extension the BDP -- which is viewed by many as the legal political wing of the PKK.
