Page 256 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

Let us remember one important fact: The foundation manifesto of
the PKK and its activities have always aimed to destroy the Republic
of Turkey, which is described as a "colonial power" in the manifesto.
Therefore the real aim of the KCK Constitution is forcing the so-called
"KCK citizens," that is the Kurdish people that were made citizens of
this state founded in Southeastern Anatolia against their will, to par-
ticipate in terrorist acts under the pretense of "necessary defense."

5. Founding a new system of state by

destroying the current one

In the preamble of the KCK Contract, it is said that, "Kur-
distan Democratic Confederalism is not a state system, but

the non-state democratic system of the people." The
contract harshly and frequently criticizes the con-
cept of the state and portrays it as the reason for
all the evil in the world. The biggest reason
behind this is certainly the fact that commu-
nism is completely against the concept of the
state.

Even though in the preamble of the con-
tract there is an attempt to provide a differ-
ent description for the KCK, various provi-

sions include definitions of structures such
as "citizenship," "tax collection," "warfare
due to necessary defense," "duty for active
participation," "legislative power," "execu-
tive council" and "judiciary system." These
phrases all describe a full-fledged state sys-
tem and apparatus.
