Page 198 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

No one should come up with an idea such as suggest-
ing the release of PKK leader Öcalan and the PKK mur-
derers and impose it on the Turkish Nation. We advise
the Western deep-states and their supporters in Turkey
to abandon such a dangerous idea.

• Öcalan and other PKK-member murderers also martyred
more than 17,000 Kurds as a part of the PKK's internal exe-
cutions. The release of these murderers will cause a horrible
psychological trauma amongst the Kurds as well. The mur-
derers of their relatives will be there again to oppress them
and the state will not be able to stop it. This is nothing short

of torturing dignified, honorable and conscientious Kurds.

• PKK members spreading to the cities will increase pro-
PKK propaganda, boost one-sided propaganda, and increase
Marxist-Leninist pressure by folds.

• Öcalan has lots of enemies, not only in Turkey, but also in
many countries around the world. The number of people
who have sworn to kill him if he is ever released from the
prison, most of whom are PKK members, is quite high. It is
very difficult for him to be protected in the face of such a

huge risk. If Öcalan is released, a war for leadership will
inevitably start within the PKK. Some leaders will even see
Öcalan as a traitor and he will be ordered to be killed no mat-
ter what.
