Ocalan’s message to disarm the PKK and answer 5 key questions

, International Group: On Thursday, February 6, Abdullah Ocalan, the founder of the Turkish Kurdistan Workers’ Party, called the PKK, issued an open statement urging members of the group to abandon their dissolution and weapons.

he explicitly stated that the historical responsibility would take over the request. The Turkish Kurdish chief’s order to end any coercive struggle and move towards the political and cultural rights of the Kurdish people has been provided to reduce some of Ankara’s security concerns and government investment in southeastern Turkey. In recent decades, at least 6,000 people have been killed during the Turkish and PKK clashes, and the continuation of the process appears to have been worn out.

The Ocalan statement will also affect not only the Turkish and Iraqi Kurds, but also directly and indirectly affecting groups based in Syria and the Iranian border. Accordingly, we will try to answer the questions, ambiguities and issues related to Abdullah Ocalan’s recent statement.

1.

Abdullah Ocalan, known among his fans as “Sarok Apo”, has been known for years as an old Pan-Kurdish politician and theorist. In the midst of the “Cold War”, in year 2, he founded the Kurdistan Workers’ Party under the influence of Marxist theories, and only a few years later, in year 2, decided to start an armed struggle to reach the point of autonomy in Turkish Kurdistan. Shortly thereafter, he created various branches of the group in Iraq, Syria, and Iran, which was recognized by the central governments of these countries as terrorist groups.
His historical statement is important because it can change the path of Kurdish groups in the region or at least undermine their popular bases. Of course, some analysts believe that the “optimistic look” should not be looked at because Ocalan had made a similar request during the “Kurdish opening”, but the PKK refused to surrender. It is foreseen that the armed group will again respond to Ocalan’s request with actions such as unilateral ceasefire! (and this time, as it was expected href = “https://www.mehrnews.com/news/6393869/%D9%BE-%DA%A9-%DA%A9-%d8%af% D8%B1%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%D9%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7% D9%86-%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%A7%D8%ACA%D8%D8%D8%A8%AA-%D9%88- D8%A2%D8%AA%D8 %B4-%D8%A8%D8%B3-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%AF “> The ceasefire .)

1. Why did the Turkish Kurdish spiritual leader quit armed struggle?

The key point is that Ocalan in the middle of the geostrategic competition between the United States and the Soviet Union imagined that by abusing the bipolar space, it could provide Moscow support and provide the disintegration of a NATO member. Accordingly, many Kurdish groups in the 1980s, 1980s, and 1980s decided to become the option of armed struggle and become the security subject of central governments in the 1980s, 5 and 1980s.

Now, after years of armed struggle, Ocalan has seen any continuity of tension with Ankara to the detriment of the PKK and decides to survive through the political-civil struggle. Of course, another group believes that in the final years of his life, he is trying to commemorate the “Peace” legacy and nominate the Nobel Peace Prize!

۲۰. How will the call for disarmament and dissolution of Ocalan affect the activity of active Kurdish groups in Iran and Syria?

Turkish Kurdish spiritual leader has been in Turkish prisons for 5 years. The acceptance of a ceasefire between Ocalan and the Turkish nephew leader behind the prison bars shows a great gamble. Experience has shown that the Turkish president at historical sites, while being a transaction, can never be trusted for a long -term agreement.

However, a statement released by this political leader indicates a change in the policy of the PKK group and its redirection in the near future. It should not be forgotten that despite Ocalan’s high position among the middle leaders and supporters of Kurdish groups, they still do not trust Ocalan and even prefer to choose a different path from him.

The differences between different Kurdish leaders and Ocalan or their escape from obedience to the views of a prisoner leader are well seen. For example, the head of the Syrian Democratic Forces Coalition (PBUH), the head of the Syrian Democratic Forces Coalition (Pasad), did not consider the statement to be the dissolution of the YPK and the land of Kurdish groups. Abdi continued to call for a peaceful process within Türkiye aimed at restoring the Kurdish rights and recognizing the basic linguistic, cultural and political rights of the people.

Party leader believes that the Ocalan statement will destroy the Turks’ excuse to attack eastern Syria. Although the official comment by the PJAK terrorist group has not been released, Ocalan’s call will create a split in the ranks of this separatist stream.

1. How did the recent developments in the international system and the region affect the release of Ocalan Statement?

After the October 7th Operation October 7, the regional order disrupted, and each actress tried to restore their relationships with various governments and blocks to maximize national interests, reduce external threats, and increase their external threats.
In this campaign, Erdogan has gained more weight in the Eastern Mediterranean Equations after the fall of Assad’s legal government and the implementation of the Idlib opposition. Some analysts believe that the sultan of Ankara has deceived Ocalan and sought to inflict deadly blows into the ranks of groups based in northern Iraq and northeast Syria. In other words, Türkiye has sought to “legitimize” its military action against Kurdish groups.

In recent days, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has been planning to attack eastern Syria and to recapture oil fields and agricultural lands from the overwhelming forces. The number of Turkish air strikes against the PKK forces in northern Iraq has also increased significantly. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, recent developments can be considered the second nail on Ocalan’s dream coffins regarding the situation of Turkish Kurds. Now he hopes to keep his idea alive through political-cultural struggles in recent developments to provide the right time to act against Ankara!

What did regional and trans-regional governments react?

Tehran as a neighbor of Turkey, as well as one of the victims of ethnic terrorism, responded to Ocalan’s statement. Ismail Baqaei, spokesman for the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry, responded to the CKK’s founder calling for “stopping terrorism and strengthening Turkey’s security.” The Iraqi Foreign Ministry also assessed the release of the statement as “positive and important” to achieve stability in the region. Masrour Barzani, the Prime Minister of Kurdistan, expressed hope that any effort would end in a peaceful resolution of the region’s issues.
The German Foreign Ministry has seen the move as a “historic opportunity” to break the “decades of terror, violence and revenge” that killed tens of thousands of people. “There are more steps needed to achieve a sustainable solution for the Turkish people,” the statement said. This includes respect and guarantee the cultural and democratic rights of the Kurds in Türkiye. ”

Talk interest

The issue of Kurdish autonomy in the area has not begun with Ouklan to end with him. The collection of political, military and legal struggles after Cairo, Lausanne and Sur’s agreements caused the Kurds to dispersed in four countries after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. This wound bone led to the Western or Eastern powers whenever they intended to superior to the competitor or the privileges of the aforementioned countries, and they used the Kurdish support issue, and whenever their interests are required to use the Kurds card to obtain regional-international privileges.

Abdullah Ocalan’s leaving statement can be seen as a result of the five-year armed struggle and playing the PKK on the land of transnational powers. The accelerated regional developments and the change of interest dynamics in the region have led the founder of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party to forget the memories of Nairobi Airport and decide to abandon Ankara’s armed struggle and put the option of continuing the political and cultural struggle aimed at maintaining the survival of the Kurdish group.
