The PKK is a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist Communist

Organization

As we have stated, the true communist Stalinist identity of the PKK
is meant to be concealed from the public so as to maintain the false sym-
pathetic image that this group seeks to create. However, the statements
made personally by the founding leader of the organization, Abdullah
Ocalan, lay bare the fact that the PKK is a bloodthirsty communist struc-
ture completely devoted to the Marxist, Leninist, and Stalinist ideology.
The following are some of the statements made by Ocalan in this regard:
The PKK has experienced a development in line with the Marxist-Leninist
tradition. It is clear that from then on it will take shape on the basis of that

cadres should consult Marxism frequently and truly internalize Marxism
in order to make the practice of this doctrine their starting point... We will
treat communism as more of an action guide in the resolution of the polit-
ical problem. We will do our part by being the agents of, being the advo-
cates of such a doctrine and applying it, as the most important
precondition of the doctrine, to the issue of political power of the country,
and wielding it as a means and an action guide to tear apart the current
government. 155
The ringleader of the separatist organization, Ocalan, stated the fol-
lowing in his speech dated May 1, 1982:
No matter what unsuitable conditions it may live under, it must be based
on the objective force of the working class, and on Marxism-Leninism, its
science and guide to action; and note that the reason for our existence is to-
