KCK: Process at risk of ending!
NEWS DESK (DİHA) - KCK said that they were at the stage of making new decisions and questioning in the face of the AKP government's failure to take steps serving the resolution process and its inconsistent policies avoiding negotiations.
KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council Co-Presidency has released a statement reporting that they were at the stage of making new decisions and questioning in the face of the AKP government's failure to take steps serving the resolution process and its inconsistent policies avoiding negotiations. KCK warned that the resolution process was at a dangerous and critical point at risk of ending.
KCK pointed out that the AKP government has recently been attempting to create public opinion suitable for itself by means of statements referring to the Kurdish leader and movement, and persistently sustaining its policy of perception creation and management through the press and media outlets close to itself that create an expectation over allegations that the Kurdish leader will release a statement nowadays. KCK added that Turkish President Erdoğan, going a step further, says that "we are expecting a statement in these days. What matter is, however, not the statement, but whether or not they will lay down the arms".
From KCK to AKP: Give up demagogy
"In response to this, we state that what matters is not to engage in demagogy by telling that the process is going well but rather whether the AKP government will initiate official negotiations without losing any time, whether a monitoring board will be formed and meet leader Apo at the earliest possible opportunity, whether the AKP will openly and clearly put forward a policy, if it has any, for the resolution of the Kurdish question and take steps, and most importantly, whether it has managed to take any steps as an answer to the negotiations draft that Leader Apo has shared with our movement which also shared it with the public," KCK said.
'Kurdish movement is now at stage of a making critical decisions'
Stressing that the AKP should stop awaiting a statement and take concrete steps instead, the KCK statement remarked that the AKP should also abandon the policy of distraction and explain to the public the reason why it has not started negotiations yet. KCK Executive Council Co-Presidency further emphasised that "the AKP cannot await a statement from the Kurdish side in the face of the fact that negotiations are yet to begin although this process should have been initiated much earlier and a progress should have been made already by 15 February". The KCK remarked that the AKP government's failure to take steps serving the resolution process and its inconsistent policies avoiding negotiations have granted them the right to seriously question the approach of the AKP. KCK said they as the Kurdish movement were now at the stage of a making a critical questioning and new decisions.
'It is quite evident that AKP will take no single step for democratization'
Recalling that the negotiations draft prepared by Öcalan was conveyed concurrently to the AKP state and the Kurdish movement, KCK noted that following detailed discussions, the Kurdish movement announced support to the negotiation draft, clearly declared that it stood behind it and how much importance it attached to the calendar for negotiations. However- it continued- in the face of the straight and determined stance of the Kurdish leader and movement, the AKP maintained policies of distraction and insisted on them. "Instead of taking practical and concrete steps and making democratic laws, it is trying to enact fascistic bills under the name of internal security package. No matter how much the AKP talks about democratization, resolution process and negotiations, it is evidently seen from the internal security bill that all these are nothing more than empty talk and demagogy. It has become quite evident that a mentality that is this much close to democracy, resolution and negotiations will take no single step for the democratization of Turkey and the resolution of the Kurdish question."
'Process at risk of ending!'
Pointing out that the seriousness and sincerity of the AKP's dialogue with the Kurdish leader will be revealed only by the immediate initiation of negotiations, formation of a monitoring board and its meeting with Öcalan and practice of urgent concrete steps, KCK added "We have to state that to us the process is at a quite dangerous and critical point at risk of ending as of 15 February."
