QENDIL, Defence Regions of Medya, — Speaking to ANF, Duran Kalkan, the member of the Executive Committee of KCK (Kurdistan Democratic Confederation) evaluated the recent developments. Kalkan spoke about the promises made during the negotiations with the Kurdish national leader in Imrali, special war policy of the state conducted in Sirnak and Hakkari, the diplomacy traffic conducted by Turkey against the Kurdish resistance movement, PKK.
During the interview Duran Kalkan said:
Leader Apo (Abdullah Ocalan) said that the Kurdish resistance movement is facing the fourth conspiracy. The first one was between the years of 1992-1994, the second one was between 1997-1999 and third one was between the years of 2002-2004. And the fourth one started after local elections of 2007 and in November 2009 it was developed by the Turkish PM himself. All these conspiracies aim at destruction of the Kurdish national movement. They also prevent a political solution to the Kurdish problem. They are also supported both home and abroad which means they are not limited to some powers only.
1991: Military operations both in Northern and Southern Kurdistan following the ‘Operation Provide Comfort’.
1992: Turkish started the massacre of the Kurds in cities and in Autumn Turkish army conducted a cross-border operation into Northern Iraq.
1993: Turkish army tried to sabotage the unilateral ceasefire declared by the PKK.
1994: Turkish army started destroying Kurdish villages and displacing the Kurds.
During this period some Turkish high rank soldiers who were opposing militaristic solution and proposing a political solution were also targeted by the intelligence service.
The second conspiracy took place when Necmetin Erbakan was in power. It is also called 28 February coup. Erbakan was away from politics for 13 years and his political movement is all separated. On the other hand, between 9 October 1998 and 15 February 1999 the conspiracy turned into abduction and then Imrali system was created.
The third conspiracy was between 2002 and 2004. This time Bulent Ecevit and his government were targeted. This was both internal and external. They also targeted the PKK and tried to buy some weak personalities with money.
The forth one started on 17 November. It aimed at destroying our movement and they also targeted legal politicians. They are conducting a political genocide on the Kurds. They also use suppression, prosecutions, torture on the Kurdish people. While the operations against the guerrillas continuing the suppression on the legal politics is also increasing.
Who are conducting the current conspiracy?
Our leader Ocalan acted very cautiously in order to understand the current situation. He did not want to blame AKP government at first place. After long evaluations he arrived at this conclusion. The Conspiracy is also targeting the AKP government. However, AKP has reconciled with these powers, it has surrendered itself. At this level AKP has two options either to continue and lead the war against the PKK and the Kurdish people or it will itself become the victim of the conspiracy.
AKP has forgotten its promises
AKP government and the PM made several promises before the referendum however on 12 September Erdogan made a speech which was clearly indicating that he will not keep his promises. The PM has also denied the negotiations realized with Ocalan in Imrali. He is blaming BDP. This way he is using BDP as an excuse. In other words as it is said the best defence is attacking.
Bargaining on ROJ- TV with NATO
Turkey is using diplomacy against the PKK. Kurdish organisations in Europe are raided by the police, Kurds are detained. Kurds are being criminalised, terrorised. For instance, Turkey bargained with NATO secretary over ROJ- TV. They also discussed it with Germany and some other European countries. These are all planned during the meeting with Americans. ROJ- TV is a test for the European Democracy. On one had their values and democracy on the other hand the economic relations and the promises they gave Turkey and the US.
The diplomacy with Syria, Iran and Iraq is not new. But AKP is launching it as if they have just started. Turkey’s attempts are unlikely to reach and results. AKP is sacrificing a lot of opportunities which could be used for Turkey. And the neighbouring countries are very well aware of the weak point of Turkey, the PKK. AKP is letting them to benefit from this weak spot.
The US want to use Turkey as an outpost
Since Turkey became member of NATO, the US is using is as a military outpost. It was used against SSCB and now the US has other plans on the Middle East as well as Russia. The Missile Shield is only a part of this project. The US wants to use Turkey for its Great Middle East Project. The US is using Turkey not only for Iran but also for the other Asian countries like China, India. But in case of an intervention to Iran US will want to use Turkey.
Bargain on the PKK in return of Missiles
If Turkey signs this missile shield project in Lisbon it means the US has promised to support Turkey, both in terms of politics and military, against the Kurdish resistance movement. It means Turkey will continue its denial and destruction policy and will not agree on a political solution.
Of course the missiles are not a threat for the Kurds but the bargain is done over the Kurds. The US is selling the existence of the Kurds in return of missiles, and denies the freedom of the Kurds. It is also supporting Turkey in order to continue its genocide on the Kurds. When these kinds of issues are discussed fundamental principals of the western world are easily forgotten. Unfortunately this is the current political reality of the world.
