The desire for territory under the name of “democratic autonomy”

The most prominent term in this engineering of perception is without doubt “democratic autonomy.” This expression, which we suddenly began hearing a lot more of after the March 2014 local elections, is in fact a euphemism for fragmentation. It is uttered by politicians who favor breaking the country up in such a saccharine and harmless-appearing way that they even have begun criticizing Turkish people for making it an issue. These people maintain that “democratic autonomy” is a democratic move.

It was not a surprise that in the wake of undemocratic elections held
under the shadow of guns, conflicts began and some mayors declared "autonomy" or "self-government". From the beginning, the goal
was to conquer the fort from within.
"KARAYILAN ASKED
THE PKK DECLARED AUTONOMY IN CIZRE"
One example of this is the way that, a few weeks after the election, Kurdish politician of the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) and mayor of Diyarbakır Gültan Kışanak announced that, “We want our share in Diyarbakır’s oil revenues.”
The fact is, however, that in the language of the PKK, democratic autonomy is not a democratic move at all. Democracy is used as a mask for breaking the country up. In fact, even if the PKK obtained an autonomous state, rather than being founded on democracy, it would be based on communism and a communal system. Indeed, the KCK declaration, which represents the constitution of that imaginary state, sets that out explicitly.
The impression that some circles are trying to give by speaking of democratic autonomy is that “We do not want a direct break-up;” but behind that, they seek to prepare all the factors necessary for fragmentation. The means available to municipalities will particularly be used for that purpose. In other words, those means will be mobilized for communist propaganda.
While the perception engineering, the general lines of which are outlined above, proceeds apace in the wake of the local elections, unexpected and astonishing demands squeezed into that framework are a part of that same stratagem. One example of this is the way that, a few weeks after the election, Gültan Kışanak announced that, “We want our share of the oil revenues.” That was intended to give the impression that an autonomous administration had been established in the Southeast, as in Iraq, and that the autonomous region possessed its own resources, separately from the state. The Southeast region is within Turkey’s national borders, and all resources within those borders, including oil revenues, fall within the country’s national revenues. All revenues obtained are part of the budget shared out among all cities within Turkey’s borders and that extend to all members of the country. In the same way that revenue from oranges grown in Antalya also finds its way to the Southeast, that also applies to oil from the Southeast. That is the result of the indivisible national integrity of the country. This interesting demand by Kışanak serves no other purpose than to attract attention to these words and contribute to the ongoing autonomy project.
It must also be remembered that Kışanak issued a direct demand for autonomy one year prior to the local elections. It was Kışanak who on  February 10th, 2013, told daily Hürriyet “We have a straight road: Autonomous Kurdistan”.
Indeed, former Mayor of Diyarbakır Fırat Anlı described how this policy of perception was implemented inside cities. Anlı said, “They are already partly implementing this model in the Southeast, district offices and other assembles have been set up, a federation closely resembling independence has developed and they will soon declare autonomy. Not long after that statement, the PKK resumed its attacks from where it had left off, and municipalities that were almost gifted to the HDP after the local elections one by one shamelessly started to declare autonomy. Although the judiciary took immediate steps, the fact that these displeasing pictures were seen in the Southeast as the result of appeasement should be carefully considered.
This terrible picture in fact announced its own imminent arrival. The danger we have been constantly warning against in recent years is in fact a cunning, illegal and communist state organization that has already been treacherously put into action in Turkey; in other words, the KCK.
