Re: The PKK
by Broker

Hevallo,

Hevallo:
Broker, it is not hypocritical at all. There are a long and bloody trail of such incidents against Kurdish civilians by the Turkish army [...], beatings etc etc against the Kurds for them to be really quite angry!

You stated that the PKK should be applauded for treating well and releasing soldiers that it had taken hostage after an unprovoked ambush in Turkish territory, during which dozens of people died.

That it blatantly hypocritical.

The point you're trying to make, that there is no compassion left for Turkish people in the PKK, and that you yourself feel no grief for the deaths, only reinforces my argument that the positive treatment and safe release of the hostages was a PR stunt.

Please explain how the AKP government has stabbed Kurdish people in the back?

I dont think you have yet explained why this attack has happened at this particular point in time.

I believe its to provoke the Turkish army and nationalists into retaliating against Kurdish people radicalize them. They are maoist revolutionaries after all, provocation is a legitimate tool to start the peasants retaliation.

kind regards
