4. Invigorating religiousness

                  One of the most important characteristics of our Southeast region

             in which our brothers with Kurdish, Zaza and Arab origins mostly
             live is that their people are very religious. Those lands have been
             kneaded with the warmth, beauty and beautiful morality of Islam;
             strengthened with deep love and affection to God and have remained
             standing on those foundations. Our Kurdish brothers cannot think of
             being removed from religion and cannot live away from religion.
             Therefore, despite all the pressures they face, they have stood up


             Despite all the pressure of the PKK the main reason why it was not able to establish a
             sovereign territory in the Southeast region of our country in so many years is the
             devoutness of our Kurdish people. Bringing up a faithful generation will be one of the
             most intense strikes over the PKK.
