Page 277 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK
P. 277
The PKK became stronger and better armed
following every ceasefire period. For the PKK,
the rhetoric of laying down arms means
replacing the old weapons with new ones. It is
impossible for communist terrorism, which is
based on violence, to lay down arms
whatsoever.
As soon as we got where we wanted,
we armed ourselves with Kalash-
nikovs instead of the guns we left in
Turkey. Because Lebanon was an
arsenal in the truest sense of the
word; everywhere was full of state-
of-the-art weapons. It wasn't difficult at all to find weapons, lots
of weapons. It was as easy as buying bread and cheese from a gro-
cery store.
We got as much weaponry as we wanted in Lebanon, to which we
escaped after September 12 operations, got the necessary military
and political training and for the first time, we started to apply
all the rules of military organization to our lives. We recovered
in the Palestinian camps in which we stayed for around two years
and then returned to Turkey in packs.
