Murat Karayýlan, of the Presidency council of the KCK (Kurdish Communities Union) has spoken to ANF about expected ceasefire calls in Ramadan month and the unpermitted 14 July rally in Diyarbakýr.
Karayýlan said that the AKP government has eliminated the ground for a ceasefire in the Ramadan month and underlined that Those who call for a peaceful solution to the Kurdish problem should urge the Prime Minister to end this war because of the fact that he is the one pursuing an unlawful policy of isolation, arresting Kurdish politicians, continuing to subject Kurdish people to inhuman practices and refusing to apologize for the killing of 34 people in Roboski massacre.
Karayýlan reminded of earlier ceasefires declared by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) within the period of the AKP government and underlined that the government has each time continued to launch attacks and operations against guerrilla forces despite the ceasefires. It is our duty to resist against the intense attack of the government whose authorities and media is however trying to conceal the already existing war in Kurdistan, added KCK Council President.
According to Karayýlan What happened on 14 July in Diyarbakýr was the practice of fascism as dozens of people included four deputies were injured as a result of unprecedented police attack. The council president underlined that Prime Minister Erdoðan is to blame for the events in Diyarbakýr as he himself put the ban on the rally.
