ZEYNEP ALKIŞ ANSWERED QUESTIONS ON LIVE BROADCAST
Politician and writer Zeynep Alkış answered questions from Bedia Teymur, the Editor-in-Chief of Haberler.com, and Melis Yaşar regarding the decision made by the terrorist organization PKK during her live broadcast.
"I SEE THIS AS AN EVOLUTION"
Alkış stated: "They officially disbanded themselves, but is this a surrender or a new transformation? I see this as an evolution. I see it more as an evolution than a change or a surrender. The purpose of evolution is this, because Öcalan had already expressed in that letter he wrote that the ideas they put forward about 50 years ago have failed. 'The doctrines we presented back then, built on socialism or communism, have failed worldwide.'
"THE STEPS TAKEN BY THE AK PARTY GOVERNMENT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT MILESTONES OF THE HEALING PROCESS"
Furthermore, the steps taken by the AK Party government over the last 23 years regarding human rights, or rather the recognition of the Kurdish issue or Kurdish identity, are also the most important milestones of this healing process.
"ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS SHAPED THROUGHOUT REPUBLIC HISTORY"
This historic decision taken 47 years later, the PKK's official announcement of laying down arms, is perhaps one of the most significant achievements shaped by the state’s intellect and will over the last 100 years throughout the history of the Republic. Here, of course, the will expressed by the people, along with the state’s intellect and the support of other architects in the process, allows us to talk about peace today.
"EVERYONE IS CALLING EACH OTHER LIKE IT'S A FESTIVAL MORNING TO SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS"
As someone living in the region, really, while there may not be any zılgıt and halay in the streets of Diyarbakır, people are calling each other today like it’s a festival morning to share this good news. That is, the arms have been laid down. It is seen as a good news. I mean, so to speak, they are really calling each other. Did you read it? Did you hear it? The PKK has officially announced that it has laid down its arms. Although we have been following this for 2-3 days. You know, they held their congress between May 5-7.
"WE CAN SAY THAT PKK HAS BEEN BURIED IN THE BACK PAGES OF HISTORY"
Meanwhile, there is, of course, a point we are lacking knowledge about regarding the PKK. The PKK is not just an organization formed by the PKK itself. It has many different components and factions within it. In other words, there are different structures of the organization. The congress is the mechanism above the PKK. A decision has been made that has been given by all of them. For this reason, the PKK has completely disbanded and finished itself. We can say that it has been buried in the back pages of history along with its 47-year past.
