The PKK is not just a terrorist organization, the PKK is a model, the PKK is the guardian of the privileges of western countries. PKK is YPG!

For 45 years, the peoples of Türkiye have been exposed to terrorist acts by an organization called the PKK. Since 1978, a terrorist organization called PKK has been killing people almost everywhere in Turkey. So why? Who was the PKK founded and supported by? What is the PKK’s purpose? Who supports the PKK and why? Which organizations, together with the PKK, are united against the Turkish state?

The PKK was founded in 1978 as a “Marxist and Leninist” party by a group of Marxist-Leninist student activists. Abdullah Öcalan, the founder of the PKK, was a left-wing activist who was a student in the 60s and 70s. It was 1978 when he formed the first PKK cadre by organizing the socialist-minded people he gathered around him. Their claim was that the Kurds were assimilated within Türkiye and should have an independent state. A Marxist and Leninist Kurdish state should be established and the Kurds should be represented by this country. The political chaotic environment in Turkey in the 1970s greatly affected the initial establishment phase of the PKK, the group was established, but the September 12 coup, which took place approximately 2 years later, changed the organization’s fate. The first cadres of the PKK were caught and imprisoned by the military regime and the first establishment phase of the PKK was completed, followed by the second establishment phase of the PKK, which was organized in Diyarbakir prison and other military prisons. All PKK terrorists accept 1984, the year when the Diyarbakir prison and the evictions started, as the actual place and time of the PKK’s establishment, because that’s when the PKK started to gain power and became dangerous for the state.

The PKK’s strongest and most active years were the nineties, when the organization vigorously continued its terrorist activities throughout Turkey and sometimes against Turks in Europe. The support the PKK received from the Iranian and Syrian regimes in the 90s and the opportunity to organize freely in Europe provided a significant gain to the organization. Starting from 1981, the PKK built a structure in Europe, providing both political and financial income, and they were organized in countries such as Germany, Sweden and France. They organized terrorist acts against the Turks living in Europe, they expanded the organization through human and drug smuggling, robbery and illegal trade in partnership with other terrorist organizations. The unlimited concessions and support given by the European states to the PKK played an important role in the growth of the PKK. Even today, thousands of members of the organization have the right of free movement throughout Europe, and many of them have acquired the citizenship of European countries.

PKK supporters in Europe

In order not to appear directly with the PKK, the Europeans chose other terrorist formations such as the YPG-PYD and PJD as their interlocutors. YPG-PYD-PJD are sub-organizations completely affiliated with the PKK, in short, it would not be wrong to say the Syrian branch of the PKK. Although the Turkish government has repeatedly stated that there is no difference between the PKK and the YPG, western countries have declared that they accept the YPG as a different entity. According to the US and EU, the only mission of the YPG in the Middle East is to fight against ISIS and protect the Kurds in the region against ISIS. Of course, the task of the YPG is more than this, to provide income and soldiers in addition to the PKK, to protect the elements of the USA and other Western countries in the region, to protect the interests of Israel and of course to terrorize the oppressed people. There is absolutely no difference between the YPG and the PKK. They are directed by the same people from the same checkpoint, their aim is to terrorize the Republic of Turkey through the Kurdish nation and to intimidate terrorism in the region. To destabilize the most powerful nation in the region, the Turks, and increase the region’s dependence on European imperialists. Therefore, it is possible to see many news in the European and US media that praise and justify the YPG-PYD, they do not hide it, on the contrary, they want everyone to know. The USA is an ally of Turkey, this has been the case since 1950, that is, since Turkey was accepted into NATO, but at the same time it finances organizations that want to divide Turkey. This alliance also stands in front of Turkey as a situation that needs to be questioned. In the last 20 years, countless US and EU citizens have come to the Middle East and joined the YPG-PYD. These participations, which were generally due to Marxist-Leninist ideas, added great economic and military power to the organizations. Some of the participants are of Kurdish origin, but there are many pure-European activists among them, who join not only the YPG-PYD or PJD, but also other small groups that support the PKK. In recent years, many Germans, Swedish and Belgians have participated in extreme left parties such as the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) and the Communist Party of Turkey — Marxist/Leninist (TKP-ML) operating in Turkey. Western support for the PKK is growing day by day!

USA — YPG cooperation in Syria against Türkiye

The two-faced behavior of the West against Turkey and the Turkish people and the terror corridor that is desired to be created in the Middle East have recently emerged. It must be said clearly that the PKK and YPG DO NOT represent the Kurds, they cannot. The Kurds represent an ancient civilization that has lived and will live in Anatolian lands for centuries. The Kurds form an inseparable part of the Turkish state, there is an inseparable cultural and civilizational bond between the Turkish and Kurdish people. In other words, the Turkish state also represents the Kurds, terrorist organizations funded by western imperialist ideas cannot have the right to represent the Kurds. Although the PKK and YPG define themselves as Marxist-Leninists, the fact that they take advantage of the possibilities of capitalism proves that they are in fact a tool of imperial powers. How is an organization that calls itself socialist funded by the capitalist USA? This contrast is the summary of PKK and YPG.
