particularly the PKK, that Kurds=PKK and to defend our dear Kur-
dish brothers' rights down to the bitter end. It is absolutely essential
to differentiate between Kurds and the PKK and to clearly and deter-
minedly disseminate the distinction. This information must be dis-
seminated in a determined manner, particularly in Western commu-
nities, and people must be told of the differences between the devout,
spiritual, well-mannered and noble Kurdish people and the cowardly

communist organization that is the PKK.

T There can be no solution without love

The pains of the past have without doubt left deep
scars. Looking at the present, however, the important
thing is this; the climate of lovelessness and insecurity

that has grown up can be rectified. However, that is
only possible through love and freedoms.

Since the Kurds are religious, deep and well-man-
nered by nature, they are also a very noble people. They
are radiant and honest. They attach great importance to
humanity and friendship, and have an immaculate con-
ception of respect. They live by the moral values of Ana-
tolia in the most perfect manner. Such virtuous people
therefore deserve to be treated in the best way under all
conditions and circumstances.

The Turkish government and public have different
responsibilities on this subject. The government and public

need to develop a special language prioritizing the Kurds in
order to redeem the sufferings of the past. The love the
Kurds never received in the past must now be shown to them
by everyone. That is how to pay the debt from the past.
