Page 235 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

In short, the KCK is an organization that seeks to bring about an
entirely communist order to the region, beginning with the cities, pre-
dominantly through the use of legal political figures by oppression
but that also employs illegal members behind the scenes in order to
achieve the aims of an illegal entity. The KCK Contract clearly reveals
that the organization is one that accepts members, that has its own
executive and judicial bodies, that tries people, that stipulates the

existence of its own armed groups and local and central authorities,
that collects taxes and that seeks to establish authority over local
administrations. In other words, it is a so-called state. 83

The journalist and author Sedat Laçiner's provides a particularly
important analysis:

The KCK was intended to direct acts of civil disobedience in the

city, to involve the populace in activities, with cars being
burned and the people fighting the police, as in France, and thus
aligning the state against the local population. On that basis,
the KCK was to act as a second state parallel to the Republic of
Turkey and would strive to build up subjects of that state. The
plan was to create a parallel authority in which KCK courts
would take the place of state courts and KCK officers would take
the places of the governors appointed by the state.

Violence still occupies pride of place in the KCK's ways of work-
ing. What makes a movement a terror organization is the extent
to which it resorts to violence or not. The key word is violence…
If people think you are a terrorist movement and take part in
various actions or close their shops ups because they are afraid
of you, then this is an act of terror. If a KCK official in
Diyarbakır holds a court, and people go that whether they want
to or not, and if they receive a punishment at the end of the

process, then this is an unlawful act of terror. A bomb going off
is not all that makes a terrorist action. 84
