Page 83 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK
P. 83
This period represented the start of an enforced change of tactics
on the part of the PKK, which had suffered serious losses and casual-
th
ties. The north of the 36 Parallel, included in the no-fly zone and under
U.S. control, represented a golden opportunity for the PKK. In this way,
the PKK acquired an area in which it could be accommodated, strength-
ened and even trained. However, in order to be able to make use of
these opportunities, it needed to do something to curry favor with the
anti-communist U.S. It became essential for it to adopt a pro-American
guise and to make it forgotten that it had committed terror in the name
of communism. If it could succeed in that, it would enjoy the support
of a superpower. And by a strange coincidence some circles in the U.S.
were working, just like them, to establish a Great Kurdistan in Turkey.
