Solution is not on the other side of the border!...
No! to Turkish Army’s intervention to Southern Kurdistan!...

Turkish army is in the process of military deployment in unimaginable dimensions on the Iraqi and Iranian borders in order to intervene in Southern Kurdistan.

The excuse is just the same as before, “To eradicate the PKK terror.”

However, the Turkish State has carried out numerous military interventions to the Southern Kurdistan since 1983 and they all were based on the same excuse. They bombed vineyards, orchards, fields, gardens, villages, murdered dozens of Southern Kurdish peasants, but failed to prevent PKK actions, hence “was incapable in eradicating the terror.”

There is no doubt that this time it will be just the same. This is because the reasons of terror and violence are within the borders, not without.

The PKK and its applied violence is the outcome of the state terror upon the forces of democracy, revolutionaries and the Kurdish people, in brief; the colonialist policy. The hullabaloo about the PKK terror, the Turkish state is in the process of dissemination across the national and international level is intended to misguide the public opinion in order to utilise military deployment along the borders.

The Turkish State does not hide the fact that it is against the federation, The Kurdish Parliament, and the Government, in sum; the national gains that were secured in the south, and it is their intention to convince the US to attack Kurdish military bases along the borders.

The regime manipulates the PKK’s existence in Southern Kurdistan in order to apply  pressure upon the Government of Kurdistan and political parties.

Thus attempts to bring US and Kurds against one another, fuel the clashes between various Kurdish groups and upset the harmony within the Southern Kurdish region.

The last deployment on both sides of the border in the hands of the Turkish state, which is the mortal enemy of the democratic and national rights of Kurds is also an attempt to turn the outcomes of any potential clash between US-Iran as adverse as possible.

Turkey attempts to frighten and suppress Kurds in Iran and Iraq with military manoeuvres and consolidate the military structure, thus weaken the democratisation and EU unification process.

It is for this reason that AKP Government should stop aiding the process that eases the aims of militarists, pro-status Quo elements, opponents of the EU, racist-chauvinists and instead move in the direction of taking steps towards a democratic solution to the Kurdish Question, which will ease the strain. It will have to respect the will of Southern Kurds and establish good relations with the Government of Kurdistan.

Revolutionary, progressive, peace-loving elements of Turkey should raise their voices and stand united against any intervention to the Southern Kurdistan in the hands of the state, which will do nothing if make the problem even more complicated instead of solving it. .

Lead by US and EU, United Nations and other international bodies must apply pressure to prevent attacks of the Turkish state, which will do nothing other than worsening the situation and delay the peace in the region and actively support the political structure in Southern Kurdistan. They should offer support the Kurdish Patriotic movement in order to ensure a peaceful and democratic solution of the Kurdish problem.

PKK must avoid acts that will upset the stability and harmony in the Southern Kurdistan and must dismantle military bases along the border in order to deprive the Turkish Government of any excuse to attack.

Both within the country and abroad, Kurdish patriotic movement must raise its democratic demands in peaceful and democratic means in order to prevent any attack on Southern Kurdistan and expose the insidious anti-Kurdish plans of the regime.
