Speaking after a Cabinet meeting in the Turkish capital of Ankara, government spokesman Cemil Cicek said he hopes that the draft law would be put into effect within May.

Cicek added the undersecretariat would function within the Interior Ministry. 

Ankara, provided with intelligence by the United States, stepped up its campaign to crackdown on the terror organization PKK both inside Turkey and its bases in northern Iraq, from where the terrorists launch attacks on the neighboring country.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
