Page 167 - The Danger of a Communist Kurdistan

No harm must befall the Kurdish region, however. The West’s
protectiveness over the Kurdish region emerged perhaps most clearly
during these events. And this is now being openly discussed by nume-
rous Americans and Europeans.

Speculation About the PYD

The most striking thing about this protectiveness regarding Koba-
ne has been the speculation over the PYD (The Democratic Union
Party, Kurdish: Partiya Yekîtiya Demokrat), which controls the Kur-
dish part of Syria. This indoctrination conducted especially by the
Western media and some neo-cons is sometimes deliberate and some-
times stems from ignorance. Various points of which many people are
unaware about this subject therefore need to be set out.

The PYD was founded in 2003 and is an extension of the PKK. It
was founded by those members of the PKK who remained in Syria
after Öcalan and other PKK leaders had to leave the country because of

pressure from Turkey. Although, just like the PKK, it has today assu-
med a mask of imperialism, it is also, just like the PKK, communist and
Leninist. Abdullah Öcalan is the spiritual leader of both groups. Its
official identification states that it was founded as an organization affi-
liated to the PKK, that it recognizes Öcalan as its ideological leader and
it declares Kongra-Gel (the political wing of the PKK) as “the supreme
legislative authority of the Kurdish people.” Indeed, information

regarding the PYD appeared in the second indictment prepared in 2012
in the context of the KCK investigation in Turkey. The indictment sta-
ted that Öcalan sent a letter of collaboration in April 2011 to Bashar Al-
Assad through his lawyer, in which he said that the PYD would sup-
port the regime in return for being given administrative powers in the
north of the region. 1
