PKK condemn killings

Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Executive Committee has released a statement on the killing of three Kurdish activists in Paris on Wednesday.

PKK strongly condemned the execution of  Sakine Cansýz, Fidan Doðan and Leyla Söylemez and said the killings are an attempt to undermine the phase opened by talks between Turkish state and Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan.

“The perpetrators of this brutal murder, which was professionally planned by international powers and the Turkish gladio, will never reach their vicious goals”, the statement said and underlined that the killings will not remain without response. PKK repeated its promise to enhance the struggle in memory of the three woman comrades killed in Paris.

"Our three comrades, three honorable members of our free women's movement, were deliberately chosen as a target. - said the statement - The Kurdish women movement of our party will never forget this bloody killing. These killings and provocations will never be able to suppress our freedom movement or our people. The statements and insults by the AKP authorities [who have said killings could be a result of a PKK feud] obviously aim to cover up the perpetrators of this brutal execution and to mislead the public opinion.”

The PKK noted that the French state and government have the responsibility for the disclosure of perpetrators and added “It is not possible for this bloody attack to be carried out in a central place like this without the support of international intelligence services and states. This massacre is the last step of a policy aimed at criminalizing our movement.”

The PKK ended its statement by calling on all patriotic people of Kurdistan, their friends, Kurdish women, the youth of Kurdistan as well as all revolutionary, democrat and socialist circles to enhance the struggle for democracy and freedom in response to the brutal killings of three Kurdish activists.
