It is not about peace or Kurdish rights or Kurdish identity. This is something else that Kurds were promised that is why there is public support, it is very clear since BDP(former DTP) parliaments declared that Öcalan is their leader. PKK established in 70s in other words a way before the Diyarbakır prison unlike the claims of our so democratic and liberal intellectuels mention that this prison created PKK. At first they were picking off one boy or a girl from each house in each village to raise them as militants on mountains, any family rejecting this were being killed, so if you were Kurd and didnt like pkk, your punishment was execution of you and your family. Yes, pkk is a terrorist organisation and its supporters and sympathisers are no different than them, even they were forced, their aim is peace or what?? Weapons are in good harmony with peace, right?? Aim is surely not peace or Kurdish rights or Kurdish identity, as i told in my previous post, they have got many benefits as well since pkk is the biggest drug-smuggler of the middle east, there is a big unearned income there, which terrorist organization wants to give up this?
Anyway if we come to our day, we are now living a phase of legalization and justification of PKK, also with the great effort of ruling party of Turkey. In this process the massacres of terrorist organization are also trying to be pinned on Turkish army via the help of Ergenekon theatre and the proponent media in order to justify pkk terrorism. Most Kurds see Öcalan as their leader even their extensions in parliament points out him to negotiate not themselves. So what do they want? Only the Kurdish rights? Do these terrorists live on the mountains like an animal just to obtain Kurdish rights? Do they take the risk of being killed just because they are not educated in Kurdish? Absolutely not. There is another motive. Turkish people have been injected for years that Kurds are our brothers, ok most of us see them as brothers, but what about Kurds? Same is valid for them? There is big Kurdification ongoing in this region since 70s, actually it is spattered the whole Turkey especially the big cities and the touristic areas.
What happened in the latest period with the famous Kurdish opening? Now TRT is 24 hours broadcasting in Kurdish, there are departments of Kurdish Literature in Turkish universities, Kurdish newspapers, magazines, journals, books are being published more than before, there are Kurdish language courses(even they do not attract anyone), Kurdish Institutes, Kurdish charity funds etc. It seems all of these are not enough to satisfy Kurds because people are still talking on TVs, newspapers, everywhere about “Kurdish problem”. Now what else left? Maybe only Kurdish education in public schools. Do anyone think PKK cease fire and “Kurdish problem” will be solved if this also accepted? Never! This is not the main issue of course, do not try to fool yourselves. What they want is, in the first step PKK and islamist Kurds(AKP supporters) demand a federated region similar to one in Iraq which compasses East and South East of Turkey. I think you all can guess what will happen if Turkey accepts this. Terrorist leader in İmralı also emphasized this clearly in his map route solving “Kurdish problem”. This murdered was begging to Turkish state during his judgement that he was now under the command of Turkey, he would do anything for Turkey, even he was crying that his mother is of Turkish origin. I told this to see in which situation is in Turkey now. Anyway addition to these one more reason why pkk wont cease fire is of course the money, pkk is a big holding, picking off huge amount of money from Turkey and Iran pass points by extortion or directly smuggling.
And as for the priorities of West and AKP was firstly to justify PKK terrorism, they firstly planned to disarm some group of terrorists and make them capitulate but of course they were promised to be free, even some of them proposed to live in European countries, other ones planned to be integrated with Barzani forces who is in my opinon legal pkk. The rest continue to smuggling and would be hold as a threat to Turkish Republic. But when the first group of terrorists welcomed like heros by Kurds which caused a big reaction in Turkish society, first attempt of the plan was badly failed. And now it is in the period of sagnation. Pkk attacks started agin heavily because it seems Turkish government is not able to fulfill its promises. One of their other plan was also to free the terrorist leader so that he could be the president of federated Kurdish region in Turkey, similar to Barzani in Iraq. AKP tried this very hard in every year of their rulership, i remember people are calling AKP as “Arab Kurdish Party” at that time.
Actually main aim is to create a new tampon Kurdish state in the region to secure the petroleum and of course the Israel as a project of middle east. But since AKP could not get along good with Israel and fulfill his promises to Kurds, it is now in sagnation as i mentioned, there are some changes taking place in Turkish politics during this period. Lets see what will happen in future, especially after elections.
