Page 90 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

However, it should be known that it would be a grave error to
blame all of Turkey for the actions of the Ergenekon terror organiza-
tion. Division is something that the PKK terror organization has been
talking about since the very beginning. This terror organization has
absolutely nothing to do with Kurdish nationalism. On the contrary,
this terror organization has always oppressed the Kurds. The idea that
there is an ethnic Kurdish group in the Southeast of Turkey that wishes

to break away from the country is therefore a total falsehood. It is true
that the Kurds generally live in the Southeast of Turkey but there are
also Kurds everywhere else in Turkey. There are also Zaza, Turkmen,
Arab, Assyrian and Armenian populations in the Southeast. Turkey is
therefore an integral whole with different populations all over it, and
in which all its peoples are interconnected. Kurdish separatism has
always been brought up by the Ergenekon and PKK criminal organi-

zations. It appeared in the minds of mentally ill people engaged in
racism. There has never been any distinction between Turks and Kurds
in daily life; we would never allow it. Kurds constitute some of the
jewels in the crown of Anatolia. They are important symbols of such
values as friendship, honesty, spirituality, self-sacrifice and loyalty. The
mindset that seeks to break our Kurdish brothers away from us will
never succeed, and will always eventually end in disappointment.

Turkey will therefore never be part of the Great Kurdistan dream
planned by the American deep state. The greatest mistake made by the
American deep state and those of the European countries that support

it is to imagine that their dream of Kurdistan can be made a reality by
means of the PKK. That is a mistake because the PKK is still a Marxist
organization, maybe more so than ever before. Its adoption of an impe-
rialist mask is a cunning tactic employed by all notorious communists
of the past.
