Page 89 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

Our objection is not to the establishment of a Kurdish state, but
lies in these two very important points;

1.) covetous eyes being cast on Turkish territory and

2.) the desire to realize the dream of a state of Kurdistan by
means of the PKK.
Turkey is a single whole together with the Kurds. Kurds and

Turks have lived together in these lands for a thousand years, and
are brothers. No Kurd in Turkey has any intention of breaking away
from his motherland. Neither have the Turks any intention of aban-
doning the Kurds. Our Kurdish brothers need not be alarmed; we
are well aware that the Ergenekon terror organization that infiltrated
the Turkish state, and whose members are currently on trial, for years
adopted a discriminatory and repressive policy toward the Kurds.

This is discussed in detail in subsequent chapters,
and the steps needing to be taken by the
Turkish government and nation are
also set out.
