PKK will decide about ceasefire next week

KCK_LeadershipDRM, Defence Regions of Medya, — In an interview with ANF Turkish Service Murat Karayilan the president of Kurdistan Democratic Confederation(KCK) said; it’s unlikely that Turkish government is willing to take trust building steps until March.

The president of KCK said that they will have to re-evaluate the current political process next week.

Last December the PKK and Kurdish national leader Abdullah Ocalan said that the ceasefire will not be extended if Turkish side fails to take certain steps. Under normal circumstance the ceasefire is valid until general elections in June 2011.

Karayılan criticized Turkish government for provoking war and said that it’s now AKP’s last chance to show their good will leading to positive developments.

He accused Turkey of preparing a large scale operation against the Kurdish people and insisted on Turkey’s large budget spending on military.

Speaking on mass graves Karayilan said there will be no peaceful solution until all the mass graves are excavated and the predators of these crimes are tried.

“But the Turkish state and AKP government has no intentions to investigate the crimes of the past and solve the Kurdish Question” he said.

On discussions about Hezbollah, Karayilan said there were no conflicts between Hezbollah and PKK in the past. He said Hezbollah only targeted civilians and was a state sponsored organization.
