Page 155 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK
P. 155

Western Powers who supported the US, have included the PKK in the
             list of terrorist organization because of its communist, terrorist iden-

             tity. Nevertheless, it is of course a known fact that the PKK was sup-
             ported by some of the European states for years and that it was quite
             well organized in those countries. This foreign support the organiza-
             tion enjoyed is certainly one of the most important reasons why the
             organization could not have been annihilated despite the struggle
             that has been going on against it for decades. Thus, the PKK was able
             to find an environment abroad to carry out some of their activities

             they could not do within Turkey. They could easily disseminate the
             propaganda of the organization through various television and radio
             channels, have the articles of the executives of the organization pub-
             lished in various periodicals and were able to create financial sources
             through front companies. The efforts of Marxist parties, associations
             and institutions abroad in this regard were significant.

                  But still, albeit on paper, the USA in particular and other anti-
             communist countries largely stood against the Marxist identity of the
             PKK. As we have previously stated, this opposition in the Western
             countries did not serve the PKK's purpose in time and the change in
             appearance and statements within the PKK started to manifest them-

             selves after this. Indeed, the mask of Westernism, which mainly tar-
             geted to get into the good graces of the USA, substantially opened
             previously obstructed paths for the PKK. It is not surprising that now
             some people appeared among writers from the US and Europe who
             are reckless enough to openly suggest "taking the PKK off the list of
             terrorist organizations."

                  The question that should be asked here is the following: Did the
             USA really believe in this mask?

                  Among the government and the deep state of the USA there
             might be some who really believed in this mask, yet in actual fact this
             mask served the purposes of many.  So much so, that it is highly prob-
             able that this deep state might have a role in this change in identity.
