MEDYA REGIONS, — The president of the KCK, Murat Karayilan stated in an interview with ANF that ‘there is no more room left for unilateral steps and the Kurdish question is the question on the agenda’.
Mr Karayilan responded to allegations of a ceasefire, saying that; “Whatever will happen should be performed mutually. We clearly state that there is no room for unilateral steps.”
The president of the KCK assessed Turkish premier Erdogan’s words that “serious developments could be ensured if PKK laid down arms” and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani’s statement that “he had convinced the PKK about disarmament”.
Karayilan said the followings; “The Kurdish question is a current issue about which everybody discusses and puts forward an idea from their own perspective. These aren’t unfavourable developments but Erdogan’s statement is something old and imposed on the Kurdish people and the PKK for a long time. In other words, the government intends to display an attitude within the bounds of possibility after the PKK lays down its arms and surrenders. However, this is an infeasible choice for us. As to Mr. Talabani’s words, I think he expresses the situation by binding it to some conditions in his own way. His statements could be brought up for discussion.”
Karayilan pointed to some psychological warfare statements serviced recently by various press-media organs and noted that the AKP government in this way removed all grounds for a solution.
Remarking that the only way in the face of this situation was to resist, Karayilan underlined that talking about a solution didn’t serve the reality while attacks were launched on the other side.
KCK president also indicated the negative results of Barzani’s visit to Turkey and noted that Erdogan had accelerated threats and operations after this visit.
Expressing that the operation against lawyers was a revealing of AKP’s intention, Karayilan emphasized that the Turkish public opinion needed to realize that AKP’s attacks had eliminated all chances for détente.
‘The unilateral attacks of the Turkish state has incited the process’, noted Karayilan and added that the state executed policies of pressure and violence against Kurds who were at the same time provoked against each other.
