RECEP TAYYIP ERDOĞAN, WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON?
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party commonly known as PKK is a terrorist Kurdish Communist organization which has since 1984 been fighting and launching an armed struggle against the Turkish state for an autonomous Kurdistan in Turkey in 1984, calling for an independent Kurdish state within Turkey.
The group, which has Marxist-Leninist roots, was founded in 1978 in the village of Fis in Turkey and was led by İmralı killer Abdullah Öcalan. The PKK’s ideology is originally a fusion of radical left, Marxist and their goal is to disintegrate Turkish Republic and to spread revolutionary socialism and Kurdish nationalism. Since his imprisonment, the İmralı killer Abdullah Öcalan has abandoned orthodox Marxism.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by a number of states and organizations, including United Nations, NATO, the United States and the European Union and the PKK have been blacklisted in many countries.
Since the invasion of Iraq by US-led coalition forces in 2003, the PKK terrorist organization have taken northern Iraq as a safe haven area and been protected by both US and Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Massoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq, and the US-led coalition forces and Iraqi central government have not done enough to combat the PKK and dislodge them from their base in the northern Iraqi mountains.
Since then, more than 40,000 innocent Turkish citizens have died by the PKK terrorist organization. During the conflict, which reached a peak in the mid-1990s, thousands of villages were destroyed in south-east and east of Turkey, and hundreds of thousands of villagers fled to cities in other parts of the country avoiding PKK terrorist attacks.
In the 1990s, the PKK terrorist organization rolled back on its demands for an independent Kurdish state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds. However, the PKK terrorist organization in 1999, suffered a major blow when terrorist leader, Abdullah Öcalan, was arrested and jailed in İmralı for treason.
Between 2009 and 2011, high-level secret talks took place between the PKK and the Turkish government in Oslo, Norway, but negotiations collapsed after a clash between Turkish soldiers and terrorist PKK in June 2011, in which 14 Turkish soldiers were killed.
After the dialogue failed, the conflict escalated rapidly, with some of the heaviest fighting seen in three decades. The PKK took its campaign to a new level by launching major attacks in urban areas of south-eastern Turkey. As a consequence hundreds of Kurdish terrorist prisoners went on hunger strike in October 2012 demanding better conditions for İmralı killer Abdullah Öcalan and the right to use the Kurdish language in the justice and education system.
Recently, the Turkish government established TV channel TRT6 that broadcast in Kurdish language. The positions of Prime Minister of Turkey (1983-1989) and President of Turkey (1989-1993) were both held by Halil Turgut Özal who was of Kurdish origin.
Nevertheless, a direct order from Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Intelligence Officials, Milli İstahbarat Teşkilatı “MIT” started negotiations with the terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan on December 2012 on the island of Imrali, where he has been held while a peaceful settlement is found to end this conflict.
Despite terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan being locked away in prison, İmralı killer Abdullah Öcalan’s authority to speak on behalf of the Kurds has endured. Last November, hundreds of Kurdish political prisoners ended a hunger strike after he ordered them to do so. As a Turk, it is a shame to see that the mighty Turkish government is negotiating with the terrorist Abdullah Öcalan from his prison cell and this clearly shows the lack of the leadership and the weakness of the current government in Turkey.
Now Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is bargaining through intermediaries with the most famous terrorist prisoner who has committed many atrocities in Turkey over the new regime to be set up in Turkey.
On the 23rd of February 2013, three members of the parliament from pro-Kurdish party “BDP” were permitted to visit terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan in his prison.
The minutes of their meeting between Kurdish lawmakers and the jailed leader of the PKK were leaked to the press, and published by the mainstream daily Milliyet newspaper.
The leaked information confirmed that Recep Tayyip Erdogan is haggling with the terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan for the position of presidency in return for peace.
In addition it was revealed that, the terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan’s plan included three stages; starting with a ceasefire, withdrawal of PKK fighters from Turkey to rebel bases in northern Iraq and finally legal and political reforms aimed at improving the rights of Turkey’s Kurds and strengthening local self rule, in exchange for an end to the fighting.
If the negotiation process fails, terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan threatens to wage a war with 50,000 people against the Turkish state. Also in the minutes, terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan claimed that the PKK helped in bringing the AK party to power and implying that the AK Party owes being in power for 10 years to terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan. In addition terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan stated that the PKK will support Erdoğan’s possible bid for the presidency if the country switches to a presidential system.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to start peace talks with terrorist Abdullah Öcalan has been harshly criticized by Turkish people in general and especially by Devlet Bahçeli, the chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), who accuse the Recep Tayyip Erdogan of selling out to Kurdish separatists in the hope of winning the presidency in 2015.
The objective and goal of Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to achieve a breakthrough to end the Kurdish conflict which could be a trump card for him in upcoming elections.
In addition, Devlet Bahçeli stated that talks with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan should immediately be ceased. A new foreign policy should be shaped based on national interests. All terrorist camps in northern Iraq should be destroyed. Border security should be secured. PKK terrorists should lay down their arms unconditionally. Any intention to add a clause to the new constitution that could destroy the national unity of the country should be given up. All humanitarian and financial resources of the terrorist PKK should be destroyed.
In my opinion, instead of Turkish government focusing on the negotiation with the PKK terrorist organization, it would more efficient for the Turkish government to focus on the root cause for the problem prior to the negotiations with the PKK terrorist.
There are several countries that are arming the PKK terrorist organization in north of Iraq especially when Iraq became under American occupation. Also the PKK has propaganda offices in many E.U. capitals. The terrorist organization is probably the only terrorist organization that has satellite TV channel Roj TV that has been broadcasting from Denmark.
The PKK media in European countries are involved in money laundering, and the PKK terrorist organization uses these resources to finance its activities. The PKK has offices in Denmark, Belgium and in many other Western European cities. Greece and the Cyprus openly supported the PKK activities in the past. Although PKK is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by a number of states and organizations, including United Nations, NATO, the United States and the European Union and the PKK have been blacklisted in many countries.
In my opinion, a tough approach toward the Kurdistan Regional Government in Northern Iraq is one way to eliminate successfully the PKK terrorist organization bases in northern Iraq. In addition, other effective measures could be taken by the Turkish government to ensure the PKK terrorist organization has fully dismantled such as.
1. Closing the Khabour border gate with Iraq which is currently under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government. The Khabour border gate has been used by the PKK for smuggling, weapons, drugs and human trafficking.
2. Official requests from Iraqi central government and Kurdistan Regional Government to close and evacuate all the PKK terrorist training camps and bases that have been used in northern Iraq within a period of two weeks. If these demands are not met, tough action needs to be taken by the Turkish government.
3. An international arrest warrant should be issued for the Kurdish members of Kurdistan Regional Government whom are supporting the PKK terrorist organization including Masoud Barzani who has been supporting the PKK terrorist organization with arms, medical supports, and treatment and safe haven area. It is Iraqi government responsibility for the removal of the PKK terrorist organization from northern Iraq. However, the Americans simply ignored the PKK terrorists for since then. The PKK established training camps, army bases etc. They established logistic stores. They collected donations and bought arms. The drug smuggling and human trafficking continued to be the financial source of the PKK. The collected money went to the European PKK propaganda network and terrorist activities in Turkey.
4. Barzani and Talabani groups saw the PKK as a guarantee of their independence. Turkey was seen as the only country that could prevent a Kurdish independent state in Iraq and as Turkey was fully engaged in struggling against the PKK terrorism they were unable to become involved in Iraqi policies.
5. Closing the Turkish airspace for flight that goes into and out of Kurdish controlled region. This would definitely deteriorate Kurdistan Regional Governmental support of the PKK terrorist organization.
6. Turkish armed forces should establish a safe zone area inside of Iraq to prevent the PKK attacks against Turkish villages and armed forces.
7. Cease the transportation of goods and oil supplies from and into Kurdish regional controlled area.
8. Attack Kurdish Parliaments, military bases and hydraulic and electricity powers stations and governmental building until the demands of the Turkish government are fulfilled.
9. Expelling the ambassadors of the countries that are directly involved in supporting terrorist organization with finance and media propaganda such as Denmark which has been providing a satellite TV station broadcasting from Ankara to Western Europe and Northern America. This Al Qaeda channel encourages violence in the west and always calls for terrorist attacks against the western targets. Satellite TV broadcasting promotes terrorist propaganda.
10. Turkish government should establish Turkish assassination groups to eliminate the Kurdish terrorists whose hands are smeared with the blood of innocent Turkish citizens. These terrorists have been using some of the European countries as a safe haven area for plotting attacks toward the Turkish republic.
11. Turkish government should negotiate only with the Iraqi central government and put economical blocks against the Kurdistan Regional Government.
12. Turkish government should also review the Anti-Terror Law and give more power to the Anti-Terror police to make the arrests for the terrorist whom are committing terrorist activities toward the Turkish state.
Many Turks have been very surprised to see the Turkish government fully engaged in negotiations with the PKK terrorist organization which has been responsible for the many atrocities which have led to the death many thousands of innocent Turkish and Kurdish citizens. We need to remember that the PKK is a terrorist organization. A negotiating of the integrity and sovereignty of Turkish Republic shall be only negotiated with the legitimate government not with a terrorist organization.
How is the Turkish government going to guarantee from this negotiation that the remaining of the PKK terrorist organization is not going to establish new terrorist organization in northern of Iraq or in Syria and Iran?
How is the Turkish government going to deal with the PKK whom are active inside of Turkey? It is very strange to see that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is pushing for this negotiation? Is it a technique to win the vote of the Kurds in Turkey or it is another technique to trim the wings of the armed forces and limit their power in the modern Turkey? Did the US government negotiate with the Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden or Ahmed Al-Thwaheri for peace?
Would the Iraqi government like to see that Turkey is supporting, training and funding Al-Qaida organization? Would the European countries like to see Turkish republic supporting, providing arms and training camps for IRA and ETA?
Did the US government allow Osama Bin Laden to enter Pakistan and to be greeted as a hero by the Pakistani people? The Turkish government allowed numbers of the PKK members to enter Turkey under the noses of the US and Iraqi Kurdish Regional forces. These PKK terrorists were received as heroes by the PKK supporters and Turkish Kurdish members of parliament. In my opinion, the people who are negotiating with the PKK terrorist organization are not representing the general opinion of Turkish people.
How about the right of thousands of Turkish soldiers who died fighting the PKK terrorist organization and how about the innocent Turkish citizens whom were a victim of PKK terrorist organization attacks?
Despite AKP party removal of the capital punishment. In my opinion capital punishment should be revoked and terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan shall be executed and this would be justice to compensate the pain and agony of the members of security forces and veterans families who lost their lives in the battle with PKK terrorist organization.
The execution of Abdullah Öcalan would be a good lesson to the other members of the PKK terrorist organization to show that the Turkish government will not allow terrorists to escape without impunity. AK party negotiations with the PKK terrorist organization and protection of its leadership have no justification. This can only be described as treason. The continuation of this utterly unacceptable negotiation would lead sooner or later to the arrest of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for treason. In the view of many Turks, the prime minister should not forget that what he has been doing and the policies he has been following are treason
According to the international law, Turkey has the legitimate right to protect its citizen and sovereignty from terrorist attack. The international countries have the obligation to arrest and try these terrorist organizations in order to bring peace and stability.
