in 1978, Ocalan took refuge in Syria in 1979. Despite Turkey’s persistent
warnings, the Ba’ath regime gave all kinds of support for the organiza-
tion to grow. The majority of the terrorists who carried out countless
bloody attacks in Turkey were settled in the camps in Syria. One of the
most significant supporters of Ocalan was, without a doubt, the bloody
intelligence of the Ba’ath regime, al-Mukhabarat.
As a result of the spiritual pressure by Turkey, in 1999, Syria ex-
pelled Ocalan from the country. The organization was consigned to al-
Mukhabarat. A part of the terrorists moved to Northern Iraq and the
Qandil Mountains. The fates of those who remained behind were organ-
ized by the Ba’ath regime. Under the guidance of al-Mukhabarat, a new

structure was established under a new name and the control of both the
assets and the members of the organization was handed over to this
structure. The movement that is known today as the Democratic Union
Party, i.e., PYD, is none other than the organization of Ocalan whose for-
mation was supported by al-Mukhabarat itself in those days.
According to the official records, the PYD was established in 2003.
The organization declared Ocalan its ideological leader, and Kongra-Gel
(People’s Congress of Kurdistan) its legal administration. Using the co-
chairmanship system, the co-chairman of the PYD is Salih Muslim, who
shares the same table with Ocalan, and the co-chairwoman is Asya
Abdullah, one of the female militants who live in the Qandil Mountains,
the headquarters of the PKK. While Salih Muslim is the face of the PYD,
carrying out negotiations and making statements to the press in Europe
and other countries, Asya Abdullah is the real administrator of the PYD
-in Qandil.
Despite all these facts, there is another important, concrete piece of
evidence that the PYD, who claims to have nothing but an ideological tie
with the PKK, is not telling the truth: The PYD is an umbrella movement

of the KCK. And the KCK is the upper establishment of all the PKK
structures in Europe and Middle East. It is the organization that repre-
sents the so-called confederate state structure including the PKK and the
