QENDIL, Defence Regions of Medya, — Murat Karayilan the president of Kurdistan Democratic Confederation (KCK) and the acting leader of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) said that it’s impossible for the Kurdish guerrillas to withdraw from Northern Kurdistan.
Turkish press have been fabricating the news that PKK accepted Turkey’s demand to withdraw its guerrilla forces to Southern Kurdistan (Northern Iraq).
PKK guerrillas were withdrawn from Northern Kurdistan in 1999 upon the Kurdish national leader Abdullah Ocalan’s call for a permanent ceasefire. Turkish army continued its operations against the Kurdish guerrillas while they were withdrawing and as the result of that nearly 300 Kurdish guerrillas lost their lives.
Karayilan ruled out any possibilities that will lead to a guerrilla withdrawal from North Kurdistan. “If there is a possibility for peace then our guerrillas in Dersim will join this process. But they will stay where they are,” he said.
Karayilan rejected the calls from Turkish side and said no military withdrawal will help solution of the Kurdish Question.
Karayilan also rejected claims that Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) has connections with the PKK or KCK. He said that TAK is a separate organization which was formed about 7 years ago and no one can show that PKK or KCK responsible for TAK’s actions.
A TAK member carried out a bomb attack against a bus full of Turkish police in Istabul’s famous Taksim Square. Thirty-two were killed in the attack while the attacker was killed by the explosion.
