Page 293 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

In the verse, God advises military preparations as "a means to
terrify" the enemies that we know and do not know. As it is clearly
understood in the verse, this military readiness terrifies existing ene-
mies or those who are preparing for such hostility and thus debilitates
their power. As a result of these measures, the assailants are obliged
to back down from their planned attacks and are neutralized. On that

In response to the deep trouble in the Southeast of Turkey that
has facilitated the PKK's empowerment within the region's cities, the

In order to do away with these circumstances, deterrent elements

should be put in place. No doubt, the primary condition for deter-
rence is definitely arms and a powerful army. It is crucial for our
army to make an appearance particularly in the Southeastern cities in
might and grandeur. The military should be reinforced with more
comprehensive and long-range arms including fortification of its
