Erdogan says the call of the leader of PKK is to dissolve ‘historical opportunity’ | Recep Tayyip Erdogan News
Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Abdullah Father’s appeal was for his banned Workers’ Party of Kurdistan (PKK) to dissolve and disappear “historical opportunity”, as senior members of the Presidential Party demanded a termination of PKK Iraq and Syria.
“We have a historic opportunity to progress to the goal of destroying the terror wall,” Erdogan said on Friday, the day after a statement in PKK prison.
In an important message from prison, the father -in -law called on PKK to convene a congress and make a decision to lay a weapon and dissolve. The message, overwhelmed by Turkiye’s Pro-Kurdish officials of the DEM, was part of the new initiative for the end of the decade of the long war, which lasted tens of thousands of lives.
PKK, who consider Ankara and her Western allies a terrorist organization, has led a decade for a decade against the Turkish state.
The leadership of PKK, based in Northern Iraq, has not yet responded to the invitation of the father -in -law.
Erdogan said that Turkiye would “watch” to make sure that conversations on the end of the rebellion “were” brought to a successful conclusion “, warning of any” provocation “.
“When the pressure of terrorism and weapons is eliminated, the premises for politics in democracy will naturally expand,” Erdogan said.
Earlier on Friday, Omer Celik, a spokesman for Erdogan’s ruling Party AK, said that all groups related to PKK, including those outside Turkiya, should be in accordance with the call.
“Regardless of whether they are called PKK, YPG or PYD, all the extensions of the terrorist organization must be dissolved,” Celik said, compared to the units of the protection of the Syrian Kurdish people and its political wing.
“We mean complete liquidation of the organization and its elements in Iraq and Syria.”
‘The ball is in the government’s court’
In Syria, the Syrian Democratic forces led by Kurd, or the SDF-Koji includes YPG-POZDRAVI Victor’s invitation to disarmament as a “opportunity” to build peace and key to open the correct and constructive relations in the region.
Mazlouum Abdi, commander of the SDF, said that the father -in -law’s invitation was about PKK and that “he had nothing to do with our forces.”
In the meantime, the DEM party said she wanted immediate steps to democratization from Erdogan’s government.
“The government should take responsibility and take steps to democratize now. This is our request as citizens of this country, “said Gulistan Kilic Kocyigit, Deputy President of the DEM Party Parliamentary Group.
“Now the ball is in the Government’s court,” she said. “If there is no democratization and the government continues to neglect our fundamental freedom, how will we be able to live together and build our future?”
Turkiye has removed restrictions on the use of the Kurdish language in recent decades, especially since the Erdogan Party of AK came to power in 2002. However, some critics say that the state did not go far enough in giving more rights to Kurds in Turkiya.
Erdogan’s coalition partner, Devlet Bahceli, launched a new effort for peace between PKK’s PKK. The end right politician suggested that the father could be conditionally discharged if his group renounced violence and dissolved.
Father, 75, has been closed on Imrali Island, outside Istanbul, since 1999, after being convicted of betrayal. Despite his prison, he still has a significant impact on PKK, which he founded in 1978.
Previous peace efforts with PKK ended up in failure, recently in 2015.
