Page 79 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

Our reason for citing these details in the PKK Manifesto is to
reveal that the PKK is a Marxist-Leninist organization whose aim
is to wage war against all imperialist or capitalist countries, states
and systems. The PKK is intent on establishing a communist state
by "tearing apart" Turkey and neighboring countries with Kur-
dish populations. That is why it was founded and it has never to
this day deviated from that aim.

As the world has changed, and borders in the Middle East have

become more sensitive and the balances of power have altered, the
PKK has, over the years, felt the need to adopt an imperialist guise.
There are many reasons for this and we will be looking at these
in subsequent chapters. The point needing to be emphasized here
is the PKK's Marxist appearance at the time it was founded and
to prevent it being deceptive for many countries and intellectuals
with its current imperialist mask. Beneath the PKK's present guise

lies a Marxist-Leninist terror organization intent on building a
communist world state.
