KCK: Iraqi officials, intellectuals and patriots won't fall into Turkish trap

The Foreign Relations Committee of KCK published a statement regarding the visit of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to Baghdad and Hewler.

The statement read: The former Head of MIT [Turkish intelligence] and current Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had a meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein in Baghdad. In a subsequent statement he emphasized common interests and Iraq’s sovereignty and called for a ‘joint fight against terrorism’, claiming that the PKK occupies Iraqi territory and demanding that the PKK be recognized as a ‘terrorist organization,"

"It can be clearly seen in Fidan’s strategy of conducting foreign policy that he is trying to conceal those acts committed when he was head of the MIT intelligence agency and to market his own policy today under the guise of ‘diplomacy."

"Fidan  is the one being responsible for the murder of dozens of people in Sulaymaniyah, Şengal and Mexmûr  by giving killing orders, he shamelessly speaks about ‘terrorism’ and ‘joint fight against terrorism."

"The former Head of MIT and the new Turkish Foreign Minister thinks that he can sell his statements based on lies and demagoguery to the whole world with the lie that ‘Turkey is and was waging a great struggle against ISIS."

"On June 10, 2014, when forces of ISIS stormed the Turkish Consulate in Mosul, the Consul General Öztürk Yılmaz and the special operations forces guarding the consulate surrendered without firing a single bullet. Hakan Fidan was the head of MIT at this time and he was instructing the Consul General and the special operations forces: “Don’t give ISIS any difficulties, we are in charge”. 

ISIS gangs, who seized the Consulate within 10 minutes, made a statement immediately after the raid: “We are ready to meet with Turkish authorities”. IS’s relations with Turkey, which started with this incident, continue today through Hakan Fidan and MIT as a public relationship. The release of the stolen Iraqi oil to the market through Turkey is also an activity carried out in partnership between the Turkish state and ISIS, and dozens of visual and written information on this issue have been made public.

"The main purpose of Hakan Fidan’s visits to Baghdad and Erbil in his function as the Turkish Foreign Minister was to develop the policy of turning South Kurdistan into a province of Turkey by excluding the de facto occupation of Iraqi territory from discussion. While at the same time the attacks and assassinations within Sulaymaniyah, Şengal and Mexmûr continue."

"As a movement we are not in conflict with the Iraqi state nor are we with the people of the country. We have always had friendly relations with Iraq as it is the only regional state that showed to be open for the development of solutions to the Kurdish question and constitutionally guarantee Kurdish existence and freedom."

"On this occasion, the people of Kurdistan and Iraq in particular, the South Kurdistan administration, the Baghdad administration and the UN should make efforts to end Turkey’s occupation of Iraqi territory and to remove all military bases. Land and air attacks on Iraqi territory due to ‘terrorism’ should not be naturalized by making them the justification for the Turkish occupation; The Turkish state should not be allowed to turn Kirkuk, Mosul, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah into the backyard of MIT and ISIS in the name of political and trade relations. The first and decisive condition for Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is the end of the Turkish occupation of Iraqi territory."
