Kurds’ strange game in Istanbul elections
The introduction of one of Ocalan's defense lawyers as a candidate in the Istanbul municipal elections is a strange move that affects the balance of votes in the Turkish metropolis of 14 million people. |
Dem party spokesperson announced that this party has decided to nominate Batman representative Mrs. Meral Danesh Bishtash, a lawyer and former defense lawyer for Ocalan. with the auxiliary vote of Kurds who support P.K.K. Erdoğan’s sidekick, Ben Ali Yildirim, won, as a result of which the Turkish media announced that the satellite organization of the P.K.K. He is looking for points from Imamoglu and the Republican People’s Party, and if this party does not agree, the probability of Imamoglu’s defeat is high.
Where did Beshtash come from?
Mrs. Meral Danesh Beshtash has been a representative of the people of the Kurdish city of Batman and then a representative of Erzurum in the Turkish Parliament for several terms. He studied law and for several years defended Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the PKK terrorist group. and has met him many times. Political experts say that Ms. Beshtash is one of Ojalan’s loyal students and is from the faction close to the left of the P.K.K. is known and does not have much inclination towards nationalist ideas. .com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1402/11/21/1402112115165960529360984.png”/>
The basis of an old tradition in the PKK terrorist group. All the leadership and leadership positions in this group are held by a man and a woman, and they are called “co-leaders” together, and now, in addition to Beshtash, another person named Murad Chepani has been introduced as “co-mayor”!
Of course, during the elections, people officially vote for Bishtash, and if he wins, Chepni takes her to work with her and receives half of her salary, this is one of the feminist behaviors of the P.K.K. terrorist group. is to pretend that he cares about the equal rights of men and women, in all other PKK satellite institutions. In Iraq, Syria and the Pajak terrorist group, the same rule applies.
Now What will happen?
Announcement of independent candidate by P.K. K. For the constituency of Istanbul, Erdogan and his allies in the ruling party and the presidential coalition have been extremely happy, because Murad Kurum does not have a high chance of winning, and if Imamoglu loses the votes of the Istanbul Kurds, Kurum’s votes will suddenly increase. .
People’s Republic with P.K.K. lead to new results and Bishtash announces withdrawal and withdrawal.
One of the news sites close to the ruling party of Turkey has drawn a cartoon whose main theme and idea is Erdogan. He said that the decisions of the People’s Republic Party are not independent and that they are negotiating with the Dem Party and the PKK.
People’s Republic Party, which celebrated its centenary this year, is in a difficult situation. has been done, if it is with the satellite organization of P.K.K. If he compromises, he will be accused of complicity with terrorism, and Erdoğan and Baghçeli will follow the scenario of securing the elections, and if he does not compromise, it will be difficult to win in Istanbul.
Another challenge and contradiction is this; If perhaps Imamoglu wins even without Kurdish votes, the Kurds will be the main losers, but if the Kurdish independent candidate breaks Imamoglu’s votes and the Erdogan Front candidate wins, the Kurds will still gain nothing.
Ojalan is old and no one hears from him
Galab Ansarioglu, the representative of the people of Diyarbakir and a member of the Justice and Development Party, who is considered one of Erdogan’s confidants, about the candidacy Demirtash’s wife said: “It is quite clear that Mrs. Demirtash does not vote and Salahuddin Bey knows this fact, but with this political action, she gave two important messages; First, the Kurds should not vote for Imamoglu and should do something for themselves. Second, Demirtas knows very well that Ocalan is old and no one listens to him, so Demirtas himself wants to be a new leader for the Kurds and basically from the framework of the PKK. get out I think Demirtas is a capable and good politician and it is better to act as an independent leader”.
Ansarioglu continued to say: “The day when Demirtaş’s candidacy was mentioned, we all understood that Davutoglu’s issue is over for the Kurds and that our party, Akparty, will win by a significant margin, but our other analysis is this that they seek to exert pressure and bargain and want to get the promise of the mayorship of three small municipalities in Istanbul province from the People’s Republic Party”.
Many media outlets close to the Justice and Development Party, including the Yeni Akit newspaper, have announced that the announcement of Mrs. Beshtash’s candidacy means that the leaders of the P.K.K. In Qandil Mountain, Akram Imamoglu has been sidelined and they do not want to vote for him.
Will the Kurds retreat?
It is not yet clear what the final decision will be. What will happen, but in any case, the results of the upcoming elections in Istanbul cannot seriously affect the 2028 elections, because the guarantee of Imamoglu’s victory can provide the basis for him to become the president in 2028, but now it is not clear that With this sudden decision, P.K.K. Which way is the game going?
The current evidence shows that at any moment there is a possibility of compromise between the institutions. Akhamari P.K.K. And there is the People’s Republic Party, but if this does not happen and Beshtash runs as a representative supported by the Kurds who support Ocalan, he will probably get something close to one and a half million votes, and with the votes being divided, the victory of Murad Kurum against Imamoglu and such a result will be to the detriment of the Kurds, so we have to wait for the coming days and see where the outcome of this bargaining will lead.
