To the press and the public opinion

Our region, the Middle East, is going through an important change. Day after day the events unfolding show us that nationalism and anti-democratic positions are the main actors behind the confrontations, leaving us in an impasse without any hope for a solution to the problem.

The only correct position to adopt in the region is the one that follows the principles of dialogue and democracy with respect for all the religious and national differences that form a part of the modern democracy.

We know that the main problem, that has a major effect on all the other problems in the region, is the Kurdish one. In the countries where the Kurdish problem exists, the politics of oppression of the Kurdish population significantly reinforces the anti-democratic forces of the region. Otherwise, the solution of the Kurdish problem can function as a catalyst for the further democratisation of the region.

As a movement we have demonstrated many important efforts and achieved much in the search for a democratic solution of the Kurdish problem. To obtain this objective, our Leader issued proposals and appeals on several occasions. Despite the fact that our efforts have never received an adequate response, they didn’t fall without result. On the contrary, our efforts created important developments in the understanding of the Kurdish problem and its importance within the regional situation.

The Kurdish people's leader, Abdullah Ocalan, called for a ceasefire from the PKK during a weekly meeting with his lawyers. Ocalan said,
"Let us all together take the weapons out of Turkey and the Middle
East as the only problem-solving method. Let's bury the weapons."

The Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Ocalan, who remains in solitary confinement on the island prison of Imrali, called for a ceasefire through his lawyers. Ocalan said that, since 1993, the PKK leadership
had called four unilateral ceasefires as an answer to the need of
solving the Kurdish issue in a peaceful and democratic way, without
violence.
 

THE ASSASSINATION ORGANISATION OF THE DEEP STATE: TIT

The bomb explosion in Diyarbakir-Baglar on 12 September, on which 10 humans live, under it 7 children around came, brought large shaking with itself. The actual shock however developed itself, after the ‘Turkish Revenge Brigade TIT’ to the attack well-known. TIT had submerged after 1980, in the connection on numerous attacks. Only 2006 were shaken again Turkey/Kurdistan by actions of the TIT. The TIT left again by the attack on the meeting of the council from 17 May 2006 and by threatening letters to the branch Istanbul of the IHD (Human Right Association), with the label ‘don’t forget me’ about itself to talk again. Due to the threatening letters, which brew powders contained, fallow panic in the branch out and 7 co-workers of the IHD had to be examined from suspicion on spleen fire exciters in the hospital.

It was based in the student hostel

It was always a discussion topic, where the TIT, which does not have a name, however was discoverable, was created.

With the attack on a convoy in Gabar/Girêcotyar 3 soldiers had been killed and 4 had been wounded.

With another action in Sirnak in the area Gundikê Melê was attacked a military vehicle Reo. With the attack the military vehicle was completely destroyed. 4 soldiers died, and 2 were hurt.

The notorious Turkish ultra-nationalist terrorist group ‘Turkish Revenge Brigade’ (Turkish: “Turk Intikam Tugayi”, “TIT”) claimed on their homepage responsibility for the bomb attack outside a family park in the Baglar district of Amed (Diyarbakir) in northern Kurdistan (southeastern Turkey). The blast killed seven Kurdish children and three adults. Another 13 people were wounded, of them two seriously.

WE WİLL REMAİN AT THE CASE

Together with the declaration for a democratic solution of the Kurdish question on the part of the KKK (Kurdistan Democratic Confederalism) a phase was introduced, which excited large attention in the public. Different circles of democrats, human rights activists, peace activists as well as artists and intellectual ones tried to deepen by the own Angangement, this phase.

In a time in that the public strongly over a democratic solution discusses, and a solution deepened it to deter is for us rather obvious to expectations regarding such, who kills innocent humans above all children in Diyarbakir, a massacre exercises and the public tries. Obviously why this bomb attack was exercised now and is there.

The engagements of the last days again showed that the problems of the people of the Middle East must be urgently solved. In a historical context and on the basis of a new paradigm of our chairman Abdullah Ocalan developed several times projects, which would represent a solution for the peoples of the Middle East.

During the last discussion with lawyers on 09.08.2006, he mentioned again on 1st September, which world peace day could begin a new phase. In the connection on this explanation, present that to Executive Council of the KKK (Kurdistan Democratic Confederalism) on 23 August of this yearly, a declaration "for the democratic solution of the Kurdish question". The readiness for a peaceful solution was explained by this declaration again.
 

This ‘Declaration for a Democratic Resolution for the Kurdish Question’ is a road map for peace between Turkey and the Kurdish Freedom Movement declared by Koma Komalen Kurdistan on August 20, 2006. It includes six demands from the Kurdish side crucial for a peaceful and democratic solution of the Kurdish question in northern Kurdistan (southeastern Turkey.)

The Middle East as a geographical region where there is heightened conflict continues to dominate the world’s agenda. Although this could be due to it being a place where the world system was formed, the main reason is due to the region not having democratizing. When a democratic culture is not fully developed, society and political forces are not respecting of the rights of each other, hence the results are conflicts. The reason and basis for the intervention of foreign forces is due to the fact that the political systems in the region are not democratic.
One of the fundamental reasons why the Middle East cannot democratize is the fact that the Kurdish question remains left unresolved. This question is not resolved at the fundamental level, hence all the efforts to solve other issues in the region are ineffective and cannot bring stability.
The responsibility for the question being left unresolved lies with both the international and regional forces. As a consequence, the Kurdish people have suffered grievously. However, the forces that are dominant over Kurdistan have not attained peace.
