PKK withdraws from Türkiye in major step in terror-free plan

[Eşbah]

Well, there's still hope...

Still sceptical.

Still sceptical.

I too am skeptical, far too premature. Soylu for some reason is too optimistic. Syria is still not settled, and there are regional dynamics that are in flux.

Terrorist leader Öcalan said: "I value Erdoğan's will, Mr. Bahçeli's call, Mr. Özel's contribution, and the efforts of all other political, social, and civil individuals and institutions that have made positive contributions to the process."

Terörist başı Abdullah Öcalan'ın mesajını DEM Parti açıkladı

DEM Parti, İmralı Cezaevi’nde bulunan terör örgütü elebaşı Abdullah Öcalan’ın mesajını kamuoyuyla paylaşmak üzere bir toplantı düzenledi.

It is said that Öcalan's message was read by Çetin Arkaş, a PKK member who burned 12 civilians to death.

I don’t know if it's true but it was AKP and Erdoğan who released him from prison.

AKP's Şamil Tayyar: "Öcalan does not want the name 'Turk' to be in the constitution."

Apparently, Mr. Erdoğan is planning on losing the next election.

PKK leader Murat Karayılan:

"At the moment, the process has been frozen. Without legal assurance, it would be unwise for us to drop a gun on this floor."

 

[Eşbah]

Murad Karayılan (de facto leader of PKK):

The peace process is completely stalled, holding the Turkish state responsible for its freeze.

The movement has fulfilled its strategic commitments without any steps in response.

We clearly state that the surrender of weapons without legal and security guarantees is an imposed capitulation.

We link any real progress to the role of Abdullah Öcalan and his direct participation.

We are always on military alert in the face of a lack of guarantees.

We directly accuse the Turkish state of sabotaging the solution and lacking serious legal action.

The key to a solution lies in the hands of the Turkish leadership and its political will.

Kurdish unity is a historical necessity, but it is blocked internally.

The regional conflict is a struggle for international influence, its prone to escalation.

Karayılan:

“This war is not just a war between the PKK and the Turkish state.
This war is a resistance waged to demand accountability for the wrongs suffered by our ancestors, to take revenge for them.
We are their successors.
Without revenge, this blood will not stop flowing.”

Shouldn't the "Kurds" not act as a mercenary force for the USA in its preparations to attack Iran first? Iran would not be doing this if they did not think the Kurds were part of American/Israeli plans?

IYI Party is the only opposition party that voted against this amnesty law.

They will most definitely eat up a big chunk of the MHP votes.

This is interesting, Yeni Parti(Ozel). is basically split in half over this, and CHP(Kılıcdaroglu) mostly supported it.
