Non-conflict environment no longer exists, ANF 25 September

KCK: Non-conflict environment no longer existsANF - BEHDINAN 25.09.2014 14:30:14 

The KCK Executive Council has issued an important statement regarding the support provided by the Turkish state to ISIS gangs, the ‘process of democratic resolution’ launched by Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan and the imposition of withdrawal by the Turkish state.

The KCK stressed that Öcalan and the Kurdish Freedom Movement had taken all possible steps for a democratic political resolution and had maintained the necessary sensitivity in order for these steps to yield a result, whereas the AKP government had from the outset not engaged with the resolution process. The KCK statement continued:

“The AKP Government, by its failure to respond to the steps taken by our movement, has brought the process to a point of no return. All our efforts have not sufficed to bring the AKP government into the process. In the last 2 years the AKP has merely mentioned the process of resolution in order to gain public support. In practice it has done everything it could to render futile the process initiated by Leader Apo."

The KCK also drew attention to the support provided to ISIS gangs by the Turkish state, saying: “with the ISIS onslaught on Kobanê a state of non-conflict no longer exists. The Turkish state and AKP government have ended this by turning their psychological war against the Freedom Movement into a military attack. The attack on Kobanê is not just an assault on the Rojava Revolution, but also an attack on the entire Kurdish people.”

The KCK reacted strongly to the government’s insistence on the guerrilla forces’ withdrawal from North Kurdistan, rather than engaging with the process initiated by Abdullah Öcalan. “Until negotiations start and serious practical steps are taken towards a political resolution of the Kurdish issue, there is no question of a withdrawal of guerrillas. No impositions will bring this about.”

The KCK statement continued: “To insist on the withdrawal of guerrillas at a time when our movement is debating how maintaining the state of non-conflict has been rendered meaningless is a psychological operation. The AKP government is trying to ensure a continuation of the environment of non-conflict without taking any steps towards a solution so that they can win the 2015 elections and consolidate their power.”

Stressing that it is not possible for the Kurdish movement to remain passive in such an environment of psychological warfare, KCK said an appropriate response will be made to the AKP government’s policies that have rendered the non-conflict situation meaningless and its ending of this situation with the attacks on Kobanê. “The encouragement by Turkey of ISIS attacks on a small autonomous area like Kobanê that only has a border with Turkey is the last straw”, it underlined.

The KCK statement also reacted to state terror in Suruç, saying: “The brutal treatment meted out to protesters is unacceptable. There is now great anger in all parts of Kurdistan against Turkey. For Turkey to attack Kurds rushing to support other Kurds under threat of massacre in a Kurdish city under siege is a declaration of war on the entire Kurdish people. This is how Turkey’s participation in the ISIS attacks should be understood all over the world.”

The KCK drew attention to Turkey’s intention to depopulate Kurdistan with these attacks, and to set up a buffer zone, adding: “They are continuing their 3-year hostility to the Rojava Revolution by trying to create a buffer zone. The AKP government supported groups such as Al Nusra and ISIS and encouraged Syrian Arabs to go to Turkey to intensify the civil war in Syria, and now it wants to create a buffer zone by throttling the Rojava revolution with fascist ISIS gangs and emptying the region, thereby enhancing its position in Syria. . With a buffer zone it is aiming to step up its war against the Kurdish people and the representative of its will, the Kurdish Freedom Movement."

KCK ended the statement by calling on the Kurdish people, the peoples of Turkey, democratic forces and global democratic public opinion to adopt a stance against the policies of the AKP, and support Kurdish Freedom Movement’s struggle to democratise Turkey and free the Kurdish people.
