COMMUNISM IN AMBUSH
230

There are hundreds of executions in the PKK like that of Mehmet Sener...
Those whose daughters, sons were killed by their own friends, by the
PKK, have been completely quiet, their lives have been shut down. There
is no authority for these families to go to... The PKK uses the word ‘demo-
cratic’ frequently in organization names, articles, and speeches. By doing
so, they try to give the impression of being democrats. One cannot become
a democrat through the frequent use of the phrases “Democratic nation”,
“democratic country”, “democratic autonomy”, etc. There is only one cri-

cannot become a democrat or democratic unless the freedom of expression
is realized.
As clearly seen, the immorality of the members of the PKK goes as
far as to kill their own friends without even batting an eye. And it is im-
possible for an organization with such a mindset to establish a system
that is “democratic”, “ecologic”, and that “cherishes women”. The only
system that the PKK will establish is a system that is utterly soulless,
ruthless, and despotic, exactly like in the North Korea.

The PKK Does Not Regard Women Highly, But Exploits Them

The “woman” element is one of the most significant means certain
Western circles use in an attempt to make the PKK supposedly look
democratic, modern, and sympathetic, which we have mentioned in the
previous chapters. Presenting being a PKK member as if it is an unparal-
leled opportunity and a source of pride for Kurdish women, these circles
are planning to create a new, bright image for the PKK over the sensitive

“woman” perception.
One of its latest examples is the article titled “The Female Guerrilla
Fighters of the PKK”, written by Eleonora Vio and published by the UK-
based Middle East Eye news site on July 31, 2015. The logic of polishing the
image of the organization is reflected by the term “the ‘rebranded’
PKK”. 174
In the article, female guerrillas are said to have joined the PKK with
the supposed purpose of fighting for their and their people’s independ-
