Striking information on the arson of KDP and Rudaw TV offices in Hewler came to light. People arrested by the PUK-affiliated intelligence agency Zanyari confessed that they were tied to the KDP, and received special training on such attacks in the camps jointly established by the Turkish Intelligence Agency (MİT) and KDP’s intelligence agency Parastın.
JOINT TRAINING CAMPS
Special warfare units are trained in camps jointly established in South Kurdistan by the MİT and Parastın. The camps in Kuştepe near Hewler and Zawita in Duhok are the main examples of these camps.
In Kuştepe Camp, units receive training on sabotage, assassination, abduction, interrogation and enemy tracking. MİT members carry out the trainings, which mainly aim the abduction of Kurdish Freedom Movement’s members and sympathizers. Similarly, ending the alliance of PUK and Goran is one of the main objectives of the camps.
The Zawita Camp, on the other hand, mainly targets the administrators of the PKK. Units receive training on assassination, and a meeting bringing together high-level officials from the MİT and Parastın has recently taken place in the camp. Discussions and planning of intelligence regarding the areas of Gare, Metina and Qandil took place during the meeting.
THEY PLANNED ARSON ATTACKS TOGETHER
The arson of KDP’s Sulaymaniyah, Halabja and Ranya offices and the Hewler office of Rudaw TV, a partner of the MİT, have been carried out by this joint center. The blaming of Goran Movement for these attacks showed that the perpetrators aimed to end the PUK-Goran alliance. In this way, the KDP aims to end the collaboration between the PUK and Goran Movement. However, the confessions of the people arrested by the PUK-affiliated intelligence organization Zanyari and anti-terror units have exposed the plans of the MİT and Parastın. These detainees confessed that they were affiliated with the KDP, and received training in camps jointly established by the MİT and Parastın.
Similarly, the statements of police officers that were at the Rudaw TV office in Hewler suggesting that the perpetrators of the arson were KDP members shed light on the powers responsible for the recent attacks.
THEY PLANNED INTERNAL CLEANSING AND BLAME THE YPG FOR IT
In the midst of all these developments, KDP-related websites carry out propaganda suggesting that a unit named Çarçıra similar to Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) would soon be established in Rojava and carry out abduction, sabotage, and assassination actions against KDP officials. In this way, the KDP aims to eliminate the Kurdish National Council (KNC), which has not been successful in damaging the revolution in Rojava. Through its new and covert organization, the KDP plans assassinations and internal cleansing of certain KNC members and blame them on the YPG.
