KCK urges Erdoðan to talk peace
Confederation of Kurdish Communities (KCK) has called on the Prime Minister Erdoðan to give a positive answer to the PKK leader Abdullah Ocalans call to give an assurance and leave the field clear for the Leadership to enable a permanent and peaceful solution. The Kurdish issue can only reach a peaceful-democratic solution in this way said KCK.
Making a statement for brotherhood, peace and hope in the Ramadan feast which coincides with a significant phase of the freedom struggle of the Kurdish people, KCK said it is now the time for national unity, solidarity and march towards freedom.
The hundred-year-old utopia of Kurdistan peoples liberation from slavery, oppression and persecution has entered the process of becoming a reality. All the people of Kurdistan should strengthen their solidarity and unity in the struggle to build the Democratic Autonomy. We therefore call on all our people and the political-social organizations and institutions of Kurdistan to turn this holy feast day into the day of peace. said the statement.
The statement also mentioned the human shield acts led by the Peace Mothers Initiative and extended condolences to the Kurdish people and the family of BDP Van Councillor Yýldýrým Ayhan who lost his life yesterday after being hit by a tear gas thrown by soldiers.
"Despite all our efforts to peaceful methods of resolving the Kurdish problem peacefully and the substantial human shield acts by peace mothers, patriotic democratic institutions and individuals, the AKP government has announced a new war concept on the basis of violence. The Turkish state, which attacked our people walking and seeking for peace, has martyrized the valuable Kurdish politician Yýldýrým Ayhan whose memory we will keep alive with an absolute commitment in raising the struggle for freedom."
The statement further stated that "Besides not responding to the calls of peace mothers who have taken mountains and staged acts as human shields for peace, the government officials have prevented and attacked the demonstrators with police and soldiers.
The war concept declared by the AKP government is a problem of Turkey as not only the Kurdish but also all the peoples will suffer from this concept. Acts for peace and against war need to be staged by all the people of Turkey, not only by the Kurdish people and peace mothers who have been exposed to arrests, injuries and even a loss of life yesterday. Targeting everyone regardless of deputies, co-chairs, politicians, women and elders, the AKP government applies a dirty attack and insults the Kurdish people. This act under the leadership of Peace Mothers has successfully given the necessary message and the acts by our people should better be continued in different ways and forms from now on."
Commenting on the the statement by the HPG Headquarters to halt all their actions during the Ramadan Feast, the KCK said that "together with the peace calls made by peace mothers, democratic institutions and intellectuals are an attitude of good intention. Those seeking for a solution to the Kurdish problem through violence will certainly be condemned to defeat against the effective and determined freedom guerrillas of Kurdistan."
The single peaceful and democratic solution of the Kurdish problem, said the KCK "passes through a positive response by Prime Minister Erdogan to the call made by Kurdish peoples leader Abdullah Öcalan.
However, the AKP government resorts to extortion and violence instead of responding to this call as well as developing a provocative attitude with the policy of separation and isolation. It is not possible for the Kurdish liberation movement and all patriotic people to remain silent and bow down against these discriminatory and insulting practices.
The statement then called on the AKP government "to give up its unlawful and immoral implementations on Leader Apo and to give a positive reply to the Leadership. We also call on all our patriotic people to react and resist against the provocative, racist, discriminatory and slaughterer policies of the AKP government.
