Turkey, the PKK ceasefire offer

"Peace in exchange for more rights, the process under UN supervision"

La Stampa

Political rights and civil rights and free expression of Kurdish identity and culture in exchange for a permanent ceasefire. It is the proposal made by the leader of the Kurdish separatist PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), Murat Karayilan, Turkey to end a conflict that has gone on for 26 years and has already claimed tens of thousands of deaths.

In an interview with the BBC from a hideout in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistian, Karayilan said he was ready to order his men to lay down their arms if Turkey accepts the cease-fire and the conditions of the movement, in a process that should take place under UN supervision. Among the conditions set by the leader of the PKK, there is the end of the arrests of civilians and Kurdish politicians, but also the recognition of political, civil and cultural rights to minorities, according to unofficial estimates, represents one fifth of the Turkish population .

"If the Kurdish issue will be resolved in a democratic manner through dialogue, lay down their weapons, "he assured Karayilan, only to return to the threats:" But if the turkish government refuses to accept this option, we will be forced to proclaim independence. " Cold, for the moment, the reaction of the turkish government. An official source requested by the BBC always has merely stated that "it is not used (the executive) to comment on statements by terrorists." The PKK is blacklisted by the U.S. and EU list of terrorist organizations since the mid-eighties and is engaged in an armed clash with the Turkish authorities that has already claimed more than 40 thousand victims.

Only yesterday

six Turkish soldiers were killed and 17 others were injured in a firefight with a group of separatist PKK in the southeastern province of Hakkari. The fighters had attacked a military unit on the night in the village of Kavusak, District of Cukurca. The military, backed by helicopter gunships arrived on the spot. For years the turkish army is engaged along the border with Iraq against the PKK militants, who have their bases in the mountainous region between Turkey and Iraq. The operations are intensified in the summer months this year and have already made hundreds of victims among the Kurdish fighters and dozens of soldiers. The defense minister, Vecdi Gonul, announced last week that the turkish army will soon constitute a special unit to combat the PKK. The task of the new unit will be to patrol the south-eastern border with Iraq and its soldiers will be equipped with sophisticated weapons.

Rome, 20 July '10

Sunday, July 18, 2010 was stopped in the Province of Padova, Hon. Nizamettin Toguchi, President of the Confederation of Kurdish Associations in Europe (Kon Kurd). We learn from the statement from the police headquarters in Venice, taken from various news agencies and local and national newspapers that the Hon. Toguchi is "one of the leaders the PKK in Europe "and that" The presence of Toguchi in Italy had emerged during the investigations that are conducted over two years by the Central Directorate of Police Prevention Department of Public Safety with information support AIS "and that this activity would allow investigation" in February this year to find a training camp of the Kurdish PKK party in the province of Pisa and run 11 orders for custody in a prison .

We believe that this statement is totally misleading and instrumental interests that are those of clarity and justice around the Kurdish question.

The Hon. Toguchi is a man who has always played his political activities in the light of the sun, within the law and respect for democratic principles. He has always played in legal Kurdish political parties: the first nell'HEP (People's Party), then the DEP (Democracy Party of Labour). He was deputy in the Kurdish and Turkish Grand National Assembly after the State turkish decided to outlaw his party in 1994, was forced to seek refuge in Europe. Recall that Members who were unable to flee, as Leyla Zana, were imprisoned for decades for crimes of opinion. Remember too that Leyla Zana was awarded the Sakharov Prize: it is therefore paradoxical to receive an award for the "crimes" for which other members are considered dangerous terrorists. Crimes such as speaking in Kurdish and worked to defend the Kurdish identity.

In Holland, where he continued in the light of the sun, his political activities, he was given the status of political refugee in 1995 was one of the founders of the Kurdish Parliament in exile and was elected as President of Islamic Movement of Kurdistan since 2004 and is President of the Confederation of Kurdish Associations in Europe (Kon Kurd).

During his political activities he was to suffer state terrorism is arrested for having listened to a cassette of Kurdish music, was seriously wounded by an attack by Hezbollah (Turkish political and religious organization close to the military) during a political demonstration in the square where the other Mr Kurd, Mehmet Sincar, died instantly.

the police headquarters in the press release states that the presence of Mr. Toguchi in Italy would emerge with two-year investigation aimed at dismantling a military network of the PKK. Too bad that Mr. Toguchi was in Italy on vacation with his wife from 7 July where he would have stayed until 27. Non è quindi possibile capire a quali indagini la Questura faccia riferimento e come sia possibile che sia emersa la sua presenza in Italia se l’On. Toguc, cittadino olandese, risiede da oltre 15 anni in Olanda dove ha anche ricevuto lo Status di rifugiato politico per protezione dalla stessa Turchia dalla quale è fuggito e che continua a perseguitarlo.

Ricordiamo inoltre che l’operazione di polizia di Febbraio, alla quale la Questura fa riferimento, si è conclusa col rilascio degli indagati dato che si è dimostrata infondata l’accusa di aver creato dei campi di addestramento: il fatto quindi non sussiste. È stato quindi dimostrato che questa accusa è stata costruita ad arte dalla Turchia per criminalizzare la comunità kurda in Europa ed ogni sua articolazione sociale e politica. La Turchia arrestando, solo nell’ultimo anno, oltre 2000 rappresentanti della società civile kurda, sindaci, politici kurdi ma anche minori che prendono parte alle manifestazioni di piazza, sta facendo una operazione di eliminazione di un popolo e di una società e sta imponendo anche all’Europa, con mandati di cattura, o con false informazioni, l’eliminazione di ogni azione politica e sociale della comunità kurda, che conta più di 1,5 milioni di persone in Europa, cercando di dipingerla come una comunità di criminali.

Con la speranza  e fiducia che la giustizia Italian can quickly shed light on this matter that is against one of the most important symbols of political and democratic struggle of the Kurdish people, not only in Europe but all over the world we, as a Kurdish community in Italy, will manifest in Venice, Piazzale Rome in Campo San Geremia, 17:30 until 20:30, July 24, 2010 against the policies of removal of Turkish and Kurdish political and civil society also against the policies of criminalization of the Kurdish community in Europe carried out by Turkey. It will also show with pictures of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by turkish.
