ANF, — In an interview to ANF about recent political developments in Kurdistan, Turkey and the Middle East, Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council member Duran Kalkan said that 2013 will witness a remarkable increase of both military and political struggle which will affect everyone in a deeper, more complexed way.
Kalkan pointed out that the Kurdish movement will represent a revolutionary movement in ideological, political, military in the coming year which he underlined will also witness democratic autonomy in all parts of Kurdistan becoming a reality and progress of the freedom revolution in North Kurdistan.
Remarking that the war in Kurdistan is becoming a regional conflict affecting the whole area both politically and militarily, Kalkan stated that Turkey’s democratization and the solution of the Kurdish problem are no more a matter to be dealt with Turks and Kurds alone. “A political negotiation in Syria will affect Turkey as well and force the global system to decide on how the process will progress. On the other hand, a conflict in Syria will also leave Turkey and Kurdistan in the midst of a war, and this will make the solution of the Kurdish issue and Turkey’s democratization depend on this war. A war in which all world powers will be drawn to. When this is the case, the problems will reach a regional and global dimension and bring along a more complicated period”, he underlined.
Kalkan noted that Kurds will always be ready for inclusive political negotiations and solution on the basis of a permanent solution to the conflict in the Kurdish region and the Middle East and added; “However, in consideration of the probability of a wider conflict, we are making preparations for a military struggle to ensure a free future for Kurds. Kurds need to have enough power to defend themselves in the event of a conflict, war or massacre”.
