QENDIL, Defence Regions of Medya, — The Executive Committee of the Democratic Confederation of Kurdistan (KCK) released a statement in which it denounced the Turkish media’s manipulation of the news. “Some media institutions in Turkey are deliberately manipulating some texts and using them against Kurdish politicians, said the Executive Committee of the KCK.
The KCK stated that: “Kurdish political tradition can deepen its sincerity and empower its unity with its self-criticising, open and transparent features. It will also discredit the conspiracies of those who are aiming at battering this tradition. At the moment everybody has the burden of empowering the Kurdish national movement and defeat such plans.”
The statement continued: “Recently, our presidency has criticized and warned some Kurdish politicians. This is very normal. Everybody in Kurdistan has right to express their thoughts freely but the Kurdish politicians who are a side/party of the freedom movement should express their opinions in accordance with certain criteria. However, it is seen that some media institutions are manipulating such texts in order to reach their objectives through Kurdish politicians. Turkish press is using these critiques and warnings to disrupt the Kurdish front. While the language at this democratic solution process should be constructive the Turkish press is using a special war jargon.”
The statement concluded that: “Everybody should be aware of the fact that there is a presidency in Kurdistan. Kurdish people are gathered around its guerrilla and politicians. The one who needs to be criticised will be criticized and the ones who need to self-criticise will self-criticise. It is a merit to be able to criticise the mistakes and the Kurdish movement is mature enough to do it.”
