3. Imposition, not freedom: KCK citizenship
One of the most important aspects of the KCK Contract is that it completely rejects the Republic of Turkey and instead, imposes on people a so-called “KCK citizenship.” For instance, in the fifth article, it is said that, “Everyone having born and living in Kurdistan, or faithful to KCK system, is a citizen.” It is clear that the phrase “Kurdistan” here is being used for our country’s Southeastern region in a brazen manner. According to the contract, everyone who was born and lives in Southeastern Anatolia has to accept the contract and therefore, is a citizen of not the Republic of Turkey, but of the KCK. Let alone violating the contract, even having differing thoughts is considered a crime. Violation of the contract will be considered “treachery and submission” and will be punished. Punishment will be carried out by the “people’s courts,” which is a part of the judicial power as defined in articles 27-30.
This practice was applied even to influential politicians in the region and was indeed put into practice. For instance, the KCK, via two cleaning personnel of the Municipality, tried Osman Baydemir, the former mayor of Diyarbakır, for refusing to participate in a signature-gathering campaign called “Öcalan is my will”.
There is no concept of family in the communal life. Such a system that abandons the notion of religion, morality, state and family is the main source of the violence and degeneration. |
Journalist-writer Murat Yetkin recalls an odd incident where a person who was tried and found guilty by KCK courts begged for an attorney:
The thing that surprised us the most was the fact this person thought it was normal for the PKK to set up kangaroo courts within the borders of the Republic of Turkey, that acted like alternatives to legal courts, and actually considered its verdicts legal.
It is clear that this empire of fear built by the PKK in Southeastern Anatolia is building a significant threat towards our people and forces them to answer to these kangaroo courts. Yetkin makes a very good point about the matter in the same piece:
These are “state-within-state” structures, which are called “dual powers” in Leninist theory, and which we can call “parallel state”; this was also the basis of the “canton” organization in Kobane (Ayn al-Arab). And it is not only the courts… In the rural parts of Diyarbakır and Şırnak, the PKK has set up not only its own “martyrs’ cemeteries”, but also its own police force, prison and even “recruitment points” which they use to take people to mountains.
The KCK aims to seize the Southeastern Turkey through insidious methods and to establish an empire of fear with a communist, Marxist-Leninist philosophy. It realized most of its goals during the so-called ceasefire period called the Solution Process. |
In addition to all this, the people who are called “KCK citizens” are obliged to follow articles 31-33 of the contract, which gives KCK citizens “the duty of necessary defense”: “Everyone is obliged to be prepared for necessary defense and support necessary defense efforts… If all peaceful efforts fail, guerilla wars based on self-defense and riots will be the course of action…” In other words, people are first forced to be KCK citizens and then compelled to participate in the guerilla wars of the PKK, all under the pretense of necessary defense.
