4. Efforts to legitimize terror

In the Articles 4 and 9/a of the KCK Contract, it is claimed that “Kurdistan is subjected to an imperialist colonial system.” With this phrase, they are referring to Southeastern Anatolia and the Republic of Turkey. The phrase “Kurdistan” in this statement is a false name only used for the divisive endeavors of the PKK. Our country is beyond these outrageous remarks.

Due to its dominance over the region, the PKK is sustaining its terrorism in our streets. Below: The streets of Cizre set on fire by the PKK. "REVENGE. YDG-H"

It is clear that there is an attempt to legalize the terror attacks by the PKK and the KCK through article 32 entitled “Duty of Necessary Defense,” under the pretense of “anti-imperialism.” Furthermore, with use of terms like “long-term public war strategy,” “counter-revolution,” “revolutionary force” and “national independence war,” the terrorist organization clearly focuses on violence as its primary method, and works to present “terrorism” as a justified method of struggle.

Let us remember one important fact: The foundation manifesto of the PKK and its activities have always aimed to destroy the Republic of Turkey, which is described as a “colonial power” in the manifesto. Therefore the real aim of the KCK Constitution is forcing the so-called “KCK citizens,” that is the Kurdish people that were made citizens of this state founded in Southeastern Anatolia against their will, to participate in terrorist acts under the pretense of “necessary defense.”
