This was during an exclusive meeting of Furat news agency with the member of Executive Committee of Kurdistan Workers’ Party, PKK, Dûran Kalkan, in which he touched upon on the strategies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United States of America and European States with regard to the "new Ottoman" attacks and the genocide of the Turkish state.

Kalkan said: "All policies underlying today's so-called" Kurdish problem "are politics and mentality of denial and extermination of the Kurds; It is an international policy created by the hegemony of the global capitalist State, and it is totally against the solution; Because it's the same one who created the problem and it's the beneficiary of it.

The forces of global hegemony are hostile to all those who seek to resolve the Kurdish issue, defend the existence and freedoms of the Kurds, develop the will, organization and awareness of the Kurdistan liberation, and work to transcend the mentality and policy of genocide, through the realization by the Kurds of their democracy on the basis of unity based on the realization of national democratic rights.

* What are the strategies and agendas of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), particularly the United States of America, for Turkish state occupation attacks in the context of the Kurdistan Communities Union, KCK ?

The Turkish state's occupation attacks on Rojava and Southern Kurdistan cannot be separated from colonial domination and genocide policies in Northern Kurdistan. So, Certainly, the primary objective of these occupation attacks is to destroy the Kurdish presence in all respects. As in Northern Kurdistan and implementing the extermination against the Kurds, the Turkish state, the current fascist government of the AKP and the Nationalist Movement Party have clearly seen that without tangible results from the genocide attacks on Kurd in Rojava and Southern Kurdistan and the elimination of Kurdish gains there. It cannot derive from its policy of genocide in Northern Kurdistan, and thus will not succeed in achieving the Kurd genocide; Democratic and liberal developments in any part directly affect each other and open the way for the development of awareness, organization and practice in the liberal and democratic struggle; In this case, if the Turkish state wants to accomplish the Kurd genocide, it must carry out the genocide attacks against the Kurdish presence and its freedom in all parts of Kurdistan and the diaspora in a comprehensive and integrated manner. This is the result of the liquidation and extermination attacks on the PKK by the Turkish state and its Governments for more than 40 years.

* What is the European agenda, especially German, regarding the Turkish occupation of Southern Kurdistan?

At first, let's make it clear that Germany is not an independent bloc. But even if there's such a thing; it 'll be very weak and limited. Beyond this, however, one can say that they act in accordance with their own interests, putting their own political and expansionist interests above all else. The political landscape of the German state at this time is as follows. We don’t say that; they're saying it in public. A few days ago, Chancellor Merkel made that statement clear. "Our political situation is based on economic interests," she said.

In addition; They're in harmony with NATO. In fact, as Germany is one of the most countries in need of NATO at this time. This is similar to the Turkish state. Just as the Turkish state addresses many of its weaknesses by relying on NATO to resolve them and achieve their security through NATO, the same can be said for Germany. So although there are some differences in economic interests, there are some differences, it's not true to say that Germany is retreating and moving away from NATO or forming a separate bloc. Because in practice there's no such thing.

If one describes the situation in Germany in this way, one can easily understand Germany's position in the face of the Turkish state's occupation of Southern Kurdistan. Therefore, despite everything, it is based on economic interests close to Turkish state occupier attacks on Rojava and Southern Kurdistan. When Recep Tayyip Erdogan presented a map of the United Nations, he said that from Idlib to Deirk, that he would clear northern Syria and Western Kurdistan of existing forces, resettle refugees there, equip infrastructure and launch a financial and economic investment project, the first country to offer its services and willingness to join was Germany. Germany's approaches to the occupiers' attacks on Southern Kurdistan were similar to its targets.

We know that Germany is pursuing its economic and financial relations with Iraq at the highest level when it sees an opportunity. Even with Iran, which has conflicts with the United States and NATO. Germany maintains financial and economic relations at a new level. Recently, this relationship continues to develop and is in financial and economic relations with the government in Southern Kurdistan, one of the most supportive forces of the government there, and wants to invest economically and financially in Southern Kurdistan. First of all, Germany considers its approaches on this basis.

 

If it does not support Tehran, Baghdad and Erbil, it does not stand in the way of the policies of the Turkish occupation of Southern Kurdistan. On the contrary, it supports this occupation. It is clear that Germany will not oppose the occupation of Southern Kurdistan and will support the Turkish state in its aims. The German policies supporting the Turkish occupation are permanently behind economic interests.

 

On the other hand, Germany has always wanted the Turks to rule the Middle East and dominate the region. The German Empire has historically based its economic, political, and military interests on Turkey's control of the Middle East. This was how it related to the Ottoman Empire. On the one hand, it depends on this and wants to plunder the wealth of the Middle East, and on the other, it wants to reach India in the context of the conflict with England. So relations with the Ottomans now continue with the Turkish state on this basis. Germany has always supported the propaganda and sovereign policies of the Turkish state in the Middle East. Because when this happens, it takes into account that more can reach the resources of the Middle East. Therefore, the occupation of Rojava, Southern Kurdistan and various areas of the Middle East by the Turkish state, as well as the occupation of these areas by the Turkish state, do not disturb Germany.

Perhaps if all the international powers stand up to Turkey, Germany will also show itself as standing up to it, but it will secretly support the Turkish state. This must be known; Because it identified its historical strategic position this way. The German capital interests’ system was built on this principle. This is why the United States and Germany do not oppose the Turkish occupying power's attacks on Rojava and Southern Kurdistan. On the contrary, they support these attacks. When it doesn't reveal it explicitly, or can't do it, it certainly does it in a subtle way. Both policies concerning Iran and Southern Kurdistan as well as political and economic relations and the strategic approach in the Turkish state impose this policy. As long as German capital is sovereign and follows politics, there can be no change in this German political landscape.

How is this support clearly expressed? Secretly based on what alliances and relationships as well as what kind of organization is it running? Of course the subject's questions are worth looking at. Because some things are done discreetly by communications and alliances, they are not clear, they are not published in the media, and they are not known to the general public. Any alliance and secret relations in which Germany supports the occupation of the Turkish state must be clarified here. There is also a need for more clear support to be provided.

Let's look at the scene: From Afrin to Zap, Avaşîn, Khakurk, the weapons used by the Turkish state in its attacks are NATO weapons. American weapons and German weapons. Turkish occupation invaded Afrin with German tanks. German tanks roam the streets of Afrin and slaughter the Kurds. It's done openly. However, the media did not fully address the issue, nor did it expose Germany's clear support for genocide. But it has to be done. The German press must do this first. German democrats must do so. Such a situation would do the greatest harm to democracy and freedom in Germany. Strengthens German capital; So it weakens the German people. The weakness of German workers has increased against strong capital. This puts Germany as a country in a weak position and in the hands of a group of capitalists who will further support fascism, repression and genocide. It therefore weakens German democracy and freedom. That's a looming reality.
