The terrorist organization PKK declared a ceasefire and decided to lay down arms in response to Abdullah Öcalan's call. However, the YPG, another group involved, stated that the call did not apply to them. This situation led to discussions within the organization and reactions towards the terrorist Mazlum Kobani. It is being mentioned in the corridors that Turkey will contact the U.S. regarding the YPG.

The terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan's call for the disbandment of the organization and for all groups to lay down their arms was met with a ceasefire declaration from the PKK, stating that they would comply with the call. The YPG, another party to the call, said, "Öcalan's call is for the PKK, not for us." Following this statement, it appears that discussions have begun within the organization, with reactions directed towards the terrorist Mazlum Kobani.



After the YPG's response to the call, Hürriyet Newspaper's Ankara Representative Hande Fırat, who connected to CNN Türk's broadcast, conveyed what was being discussed in Ankara's corridors.



"THE CONGRESS NEEDS TO MEET WITHIN 1-2 MONTHS"



She used the following expressions regarding the YPG, which is one of the most curious topics:



The organization uses the term ceasefire, but this is an organizational language. The state does not declare a ceasefire; the state makes a ceasefire with another state. This is a clear picture from Ankara's perspective. Secondly, it is like a condition that Öcalan should be in charge. How things will unfold in the coming days is important, but Öcalan's ideas will be reflected in the congress. It will happen with Öcalan's written text; his ideas will somehow be reflected in the congress. Other options are not well-received. But what is important is that the congress needs to convene as soon as possible. It is expected that the congress will meet within 1-2 months. For a Turkey without terrorism, the organization must disband and lay down its arms. This will also provide an honorable exit for the terrorist militants.



"THEY WANT TO USE YPG"



"Ankara saw this as a risk. The YPG's strings were tied to the US-Israel. They want to use the YPG, and they are continuing this effort. The risk that Ankara was expecting has materialized. The YPG did not take this instruction despite being told 'all groups.' They responded with 'I am not involved.' Now, what does this show? There is a YPG that does not receive instructions from Öcalan. Discussions have also begun within the organization. There are those questioning who Mazlum Kobani is inside. There is a faction saying that the founding leader of the organization gave instructions, and they should be followed. On the other hand, there are those saying we are separate.



"THE US CAN DISPOSE OF YPG IN 1 MINUTE"



There are two important elements. One of them is that Ankara does not talk to Syria through Öcalan. It talks to Israel and the US. In this context, in the upcoming process, the Syrian administration is talking to Turkey, but it may enter into a more working environment. Turkey discusses the situation in Syria with the US. On one hand, there are events happening in the White House. The US, which put Zelenskyy out the door in minutes, should not forget that it can dispose of the YPG in 1 minute just like it did with Zelenskyy. We saw an example of this yesterday. The YPG should see this and respond to Öcalan's calls. What will happen to Israel's stance in the region? We are giving you an honorable exit; let stability come to the region. If you fight me with words, I will continue to fight you. In other words, make peace with those who bury their weapons, and fight with those who do not bury their weapons; the effort to dry up terrorism at its source will continue."
