BEHDINAN – In an exclusive interview with ANF, KCK Executive Council Co-chairman Cemil Bayık made evaluations on the isolation of Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan, the May 14 elections, and the Turkish state’s attacks on the Kurdish movement.
Calling everyone to show their strength to get the maximum result in the 14 May elections, Bayık said, “If they do this, I can easily say that the AKP-MHP fascism will come to an end and Turkey will take a step towards democratization. AKP-MHP has nothing to give to society, women, Kurds, Alevis, laborers and peoples; it’s over.
Our job is to take them down. To meet everyone’s expectations. On this basis, I call on the Labor and Freedom Alliance, the Green Left Party, the Kurdish people, the Alevis, women, youth, workers, all peoples and everyone who are against fascism in Turkey; It is a very good use of this historic opportunity.”
The evaluations of KCK Executive Council Co-chair Cemil Bayık are as follows:
LEADER APO’S OPINIONS MAKE IMPACT
Leader Apo is not a prisoner. His evaluations have an impact on both our movement and our people, socialist circles, friendly circles and even the Turkish Republic; that’s why everyone cares about these reviews. If the international conspiracy developed, that’s why it was developed. There has been no relationship with Leader Apo for a long time. Almost everyone knows this. This is the continuation of the conspiracy in the form of absolute isolation. Of course, this absolute isolation is causing concern and anxiety both in our movement, in our people, in socialist circles, and in circles engaged in the struggle for democracy and freedom. It is understandable for them to express their concerns and concerns. If many circles are developing a struggle against this absolute isolation, it is for this. This is how it has to be understood.
KURDISH SHOULD CARRY THEIR STRUGGLE EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD
As it is known, the Kurds have gone to many countries of the world. Of course, they did not leave their country lovingly and went there. They were thrown all over the world because of various oppressions, massacres, arrests, tortures and made them economically unviable. Our people, who are scattered all over the world, should carry Leader Apo’s ideology, philosophy, the paradigm he developed, the Kurdish problem and the struggle developing in Kurdistan to everyone, like diplomats. If they do this, Leader Apo will have moved to the whole world. This is what will keep the real Leader Apo alive. It is very important that all Kurds, especially Kurds scattered all over the world, fulfill this duty and responsibility. Leader Apo is not only the leader of the Kurdish people, he is also the leader of humanity.
THE CONFERENCE IN HAMBURG WAS SUCCESSFUL
They put a lot of effort into this. But these efforts, on the contrary, cause Leader Apo to take place in more hearts and minds. For this reason, many conferences and meetings are held. A conference was held in Hamburg most recently. Leader Apo’s ideology, philosophy and paradigm were discussed. Germany put up obstacles, but nevertheless this conference was held quite successfully. I respectfully and respectfully greet the organizers and participants of this conference. They really held this conference despite great obstacles and difficulties.
Again, a rally was held in Düsseldorf to break the absolute isolation on Leader Apo and to realize his physical freedom. Marches were held in Marseille and in many other places. I heartily greet and congratulate all our people and friends who participated in this rally and march. All this shows very clearly that if Leader Apo’s paradigm is well understood and understood, everyone will accept this paradigm. Everyone sees this paradigm as a hope and owns Leader Apo. So, if we carry the paradigm everywhere, if we make it comprehend, ownership of Leader Apo will develop more. The realization of Leader Apo’s physical freedom will gain even more strength on this basis. That’s why everyone needs to act responsibly where they are. He needs to develop more combat. Leader Apo’ It is necessary to make them comprehend under what conditions the struggle was waged and how it developed that paradigm. If this is done, I think the pressure on the Turkish Republic will increase and the physical freedom of Leader Apo will be realized. The realization of Leader Apo’s physical freedom cannot be delayed any longer. The attitude of the CPT and the Council of Europe on this issue is very interesting. They throw the ball to TC, and TC throws it to them. They present such an interesting situation. The Turkish Republic is developing its policies of genocide against our people. The policy followed by the CPT and the Council of Europe on this issue completely serves the genocide policies of the TR. They are partners in the genocide. At least they should not be a partner in the genocide. They should respect their own laws, rules and principles. If they are respectful If they do not support the genocide, I think the Turkish Republic cannot develop this absolute isolation on Leader Apo at this level. On this occasion, my call to everyone is to raise the struggle against the absolute isolation on Leader Apo.
OUR FIRST MARTYRS DETERMINED THE FIGHT OF THE FIGHT
As it is known, 18 May Martyrs’ Day and May as Martyrs’ Month were decided by our movement and this was announced to the public. In fact, if examined well, it will be seen that not only May 18 is Martyrs’ Day, almost every day is Martyrs’ Day, again only May is not Martyrs’ Month, but all months are Martyrs’ Month. This is a fact. On this occasion, in the person of Haki Karer, all the socialist revolutionary comrades who waged the struggle for democracy and freedom, were executed for this cause, were killed in torture and clashes, their revolutionary comrades in Kurdistan, all these martyrs in Iran, Bashur and Rojava. I remember my dear comrades with respect and gratitude. I repeat the promise we made to them. As it is known, Friend Haki Karer is one of our first martyrs. When Friend Haki Karer was martyred, Leader Apo’ There is an assessment made by Now martyrs have been given, our blood has been shed. “After that, you can’t take a step back,” he said. Indeed, Leader Apo has developed great evaluations about the martyrs since then. He revealed what devotion to martyrs means and how devotion should be carried out. Our first martyrs determined the direction of our struggle and revealed our measures. The PKK is walking in this direction, on these measures. We defined the PKK as the Martyrs’ Party, because it was a great martyr and because it walked in the direction and on the scales determined by the martyrs. Leader Apo defined himself as the spokesperson of the martyrs and we defined ourselves as the comrades of the martyrs. We are walking on this reality. This is how everyone should understand it. Now martyrs have been given, our blood has been shed. “After that, you can’t take a step back,” he said. Indeed, Leader Apo has developed great evaluations about the martyrs since then. He revealed what devotion to martyrs means and how devotion should be carried out. Our first martyrs determined the direction of our struggle and revealed our measures. The PKK is walking in this direction, on these measures.
BASED ON THE WORDS OF ÖNDER APO DENİZ GEZMİŞ
This movement has been waging an uninterrupted struggle for 50 years. And this movement gave thousands of martyrs, this people. I can say that such a movement is an exception, and it is the first to take place in the PKK. While Leader Apo was laying the foundation of this movement, he based himself on two things. The first is what Deniz Gezmiş said on the execution bench. “Long live the joint struggle of the Kurdish and Turkish peoples,” he said. Leader Apo. He always took these words of Deniz Gezmiş on the death row as a basis for himself and developed the struggle and organization on this basis. Again, since Haki Karer and Kemal Pir were the first to comrade with Leader Apo, because they were not from Kurdistan and they were not Kurds, and since there was no organized struggle, Leader Apo laid this on the basis of the struggle against the organization. If the PKK If nationalist understandings have not developed in Turkey and among the Kurdish people. If from the very beginning this movement has developed in an international character, if it has become the people’s hope for freedom and democracy, this has something to do with such a reality. Leader Apo has always based on the common struggle of the peoples since then. He fought not only to realize the common struggle of the Kurdish and Turkish peoples, but also to realize the common aspirations of all peoples. On this basis, he developed his ideology, philosophy, organization, struggle and paradigm. Democratization of Turkey under Turkish conditions. He formulated it as the development of autonomy and freedom in Kurdistan. And on this basis, socialists, democrats, intellectuals, who are fighting for democracy and freedom in Turkey, patriots have recently developed the Labor and Freedom Alliance based on this paradigm. With this alliance, they took part in the Green Left Party.
THE GREEN LEFT PARTY MUST STRONGLY CARRY ITSELF TO THE PARLIAMENT
On this basis, they decided to enter the elections. Therefore, the Green Left Party must work very hard. It must carry itself to a large extent in Parliament. Because oligarchy developed in the Republic of Türkiye, which was developed with the 1924 constitution. Gradually it acquired a fascist character. At this stage, he is no longer able to walk. A very historical opportunity has come before the socialists, patriots, and those who fight for democracy and freedom in Turkey. The opportunity arose to develop Turkey in the form of a democratic republic. In order to seize this historical opportunity, the Green Left Party needs to organize itself very well, carry out the election struggle well and carry itself very strongly to the parliament. If he does this, he will seize the historical opportunity that arises in the direction of democracy. Türkiye’ Solutions will be developed to the gangrenous problems of Now it is the Green Left Party that will determine the future of Turkey. This is a fact. Almost everyone says this. Then the Green Left Party needs to play this role well. Therefore, a great struggle was waged. Great martyrs were given, Great prices were paid, suffering was experienced. For this reason, it is very important to approach the martyrs correctly and to keep the martyrs alive. This is a fundamental principle of camaraderie. It is also the dialectic of development of our movement. The aim of all of us is to be worthy of martyrs, to realize their goals, hopes and dreams. May is a very holy month for us. For this reason, we question ourselves more than ever in this month, see and correct our mistakes and deficiencies. We need to focus on enlarging our truths as well as our achievements.
WE MADE THE DECISION OF INACTION FOR HUMANITARIAN, ETHICAL AND CONSCIOUS REASONS
As it is known, it is a very important area of our country. There was a big earthquake. When this earthquake happened, AKP and MHP government left hundreds of thousands of our people to die. We made a decision based on this situation. We developed the inaction decision. It was a purely human, moral, conscientious decision. Why did we develop such a decision? Because the AKP and MHP government had left hundreds of thousands of people in the earthquake area to die. We could not remain indifferent to this. Because we are a social movement. We are a humane, moral and conscientious movement. We could never accept that these people were left to die in this way. Our people needed to be rescued from this situation. The people had to come to the aid of the people as soon as possible. Deaths should have been prevented. The damage had to be removed. For this too. All energy had to be mobilized on this basis. It was not right to deal with other things. If we took the decision of inaction, it was for a reason.
However, there was another reason as well. When we went to work from Ankara to Kurdistan, one of the first areas we worked in was Antep, Adıyaman and Maraş. Here is a work we are doing. This has consequences. The Turkish state was trying to eliminate this labor as well. He wanted to de-Kurdish this place. As a person, I have worked in this field myself. I knew that area, the people there, very well. Most of them were working people. They were Kurds, Alevis, workers. Therefore, it was necessary to own this people. That’s why we developed that decision. Then the election came to the fore. When the election came to the agenda, all the peoples of Turkey were now saying stop to the AKP MHP government. Change was wanted. But the AKP and MHP government had turned a blind eye to the society’s demand for change. He was even trying to neutralize this change with provocations and to maintain his power again. Almost everyone said that provocations could develop.
He said that the change Turkey needed could be prevented in this way. Taking this situation into account, we have taken the decision of inaction to be extended until the election results in order not to sabotage the change, its realization, to remove the ground for possible provocations, and not to become a party to it.
EUROPEAN UNION AND NATO PARTICIPATE IN TURKEY’S ATTACKS
If we extended the decision of inaction, the reason is as I stated. This also needs to be understood correctly. We have fulfilled our responsibility on this basis. We made a great sacrifice. We think everyone who is interested in this subject knows and appreciates it. While we were developing such a decision, while we did not take any action in the cities, the Turkish State continued its attacks by constantly increasing it. He did this both in Turkey and in the Media Defense Areas, he did it in Bashur and Rojava, and those who developed democratic politics were arrested and thrown into prisons. The tortures in the dungeons increased more and more. If the Turkish state has increased the number of attacks more than before after our decision of inaction, it is because of the attitude of NATO and the European Union. Taking advantage of this, he continued his attacks by increasing. He still continues to do so. Of course, this situation forces us, our people, our friends. Despite all the challenges, we continue to fulfill the requirements of our responsibilities. We continue to make sacrifices. We believe that this should also be understood correctly. If NATO, the European Union had not supported the Turkish state, this fascist, colonialist and genocidal state would not have been able to develop these attacks at this level. The fascist, colonialist, genocidal Turkish state. Based on its relations with NATO and Europe, it attacks everywhere like a spoiled child, based on the process it goes through the world. Nobody says anything. Therefore, it becomes a kind of partner in these attacks. They almost become partners in the genocidal policies pursued by the Turkish Republic. My call is for them to abandon this policy. They are not partners in the Kurdish genocide. forcing our friends. Despite all the challenges, we continue to fulfill the requirements of our responsibilities. We continue to make sacrifices. We believe that this should also be understood correctly. If NATO, the European Union had not supported the Turkish state, this fascist, colonialist and genocidal state would not have been able to develop these attacks at this level.
AKP-MHP TURNED TURKEY INTO A GANG STATE
The AKP-MHP fascist, colonialist, genocidal government has been creating such tensions, developing social polarizations, dividing the society, dividing it, and making it hostile to each other from the very beginning in order to protect its existence and power. It wants to maintain its own existence and power over it. All his searches are in the form of how I can create an extraordinary situation, I can make a development in my favor, I can maintain my existence and my power on it. He’s always chasing it. Because, at the current stage, they have realized that they can no longer maintain themselves, their existence and their power. But they also want to maintain their existence and power. They want to continue their big hit. That’s why the society is suffering from hunger, unemployment, freedom and democracy problems. Nature is being destroyed femicide, social murder is happening. This means nothing to them. All their efforts are about how they can preserve their existence and power. It is about how they will continue their profiteering. With this, they turned the Turkish state into a mafia state. They turned it into a gang state. There is nothing left, neither the constitution, nor the law, nor the justice. They trampled everything. In this way, they dragged Turkey into a very difficult swamp. They have caused great destruction. Because this is because of their mentality. They present everyone who does not serve them and is not with them as the enemy of Turkey, the enemy of democracy. They are branded as terrorists, they are branded as traitors. Turkey of these By saying that they want to shatter the good, they both cover up the destruction of all the evils they have done, cause no one to understand, and make fun of everyone in this way. They think that they can cover up what they have done, that they can deceive everyone, that such beings can maintain their power. That’s why they blame everyone who is not for them, who does not serve them. Terrorists are declared as traitors. And they accuse them of serving the PKK. They accuse you of selling the country. Because those with a fascist, colonialist and genocidal mentality can easily blame the Kurds and the PKK.
On this basis, they can maintain their existence, power and profiteering. But now that has come to an end. Maybe they have carried out their business in this way until now, but at the present stage, such accusations and pressures based on it are backfiring. They wanted to close HDP, but they could not. Again, a few days before the elections, they developed an operation that everyone knows. They arrested politicians, artists, pressure, lawyers. They still continue to do so. And it looks like they will continue. They follow such an ugly policy. Because the socialists Democracy and Freedom forces in Turkey developed an alliance. Alliance of Labor and Freedom. On this basis, they are running from the Green Left Party. They are quite ambitious. This is what AKP-MHP sees as very dangerous. He definitely wants to prevent this development. its existence, He wants to re-establish his power on this basis. If they did this operation, that’s why they did it. This is an open intervention in the ballot box and election. This is how it has to be understood. On this occasion, my call to everyone is to respond to these attacks at the ballot box. The AKP-MHP mentality must be ended at the ballot box. This mentality that is plaguing the peoples must be seen.
NO ONE SHOULD STEP BACK
Their aim with this operation is to increase the opportunities for cheating that they want to do. Because everybody says it. They say they’re going to cheat. With such operations, they aim to increase their tricks and possibilities. For this reason, everyone should have their votes at the ballot boxes until the end. With these operations, they want to intimidate and intimidate the Green Left Party, the Labor and Freedom Alliance, the forces of democracy, our people, the peoples, the workers, the Alevis, women, youth and everyone. I know that with these operations, they will not be able to achieve their intimidation purpose. And no one should back down. On the contrary, it should work harder, organize and make AKP-MHP pay for it. On this basis, I call on everyone by magnifying and raising the struggle they have waged until now, by acting very bravely and determinedly.
AKP-MHP POWER IS NOW CLOSED
AKP-MHP has a fascist, genocidal mentality. He is hostile to everyone but himself. It doesn’t hide it. Everyone knows that too. What the AKP-MHP did is similar to what Hitler did in the past. Hitler came to power by being hostile to Jews and socialists. He built his power, his existence, on this, and carried out on it. However, he developed the war machine without limits. And he promoted it. He stated that the Germans would dominate the world in this way, and that no power could stand in their way. In this way, nationalism greatly fueled chauvinism and fascism. He poisoned the society, used it for his own purposes. A section of German society believed it, while a section resisted it. Hitler attacked the world on the basis of its consequences. But in the end he was left alone and had to commit suicide. If you pay attention, AKP The fascist, genocidal government of the MHP is doing the same as Hitler did. He is poisoning the society by being hostile to Kurds, Alevis and socialists. It fuels nationalism and chauvinism. He wants to stay on top of it. However, he is constantly improving his war machine. He even bases his election propaganda on them. On this basis, he is using the Turkish society for his purposes. While doing these, let’s keep Libya. It intervenes in Azerbaijan, Syria, and Iraq. He thinks he can get results in this way. However, at the current stage, it has been blocked, regressed, and has come face to face with loss. He is preparing his own end. He wants to stay on top of it. However, he is constantly improving his war machine. He even bases his election propaganda on them.
AKP IS AGAINST YOUTH
Of course, this did not come out of nowhere. Great struggles were waged, the price was paid, there was suffering. As a result, this situation arose. AKP-MHP is a government hostile to society, socialism, nature, life, Kurds, Alevis, laborers, socialists, peoples, democracy and freedom. Therefore, it is also hostile to the youth. Because youth is the future of society. AKP-MHP, on the other hand, is against society and socialism. It is against the future of society. In other words, it is against the future of youth. They have policies towards youth, they are trying to make them weak. He’s trying to get ahead of his organization. He’s trying to digest it completely. He is trying to distance himself from politics. He wants to create an apolitical youth. It tries to refute the youth with its special war policies that it implements in various ways. The youth therefore reject these policies. He doesn’t agree, he stands against it. The Kurdish youth, on the other hand, has long since completely broken away from the dominant ideology and system, with the PKK emerging and developing a struggle. Similarly, the youth in Turkey is experiencing a rupture and developing. Despite all the special war policies, the youth has risen again on its own reality. A great struggle seems to have been waged against the AKP-MHP government. The character of the youth is known. It is quite energetic, quite. is a seeker. It is not easily satisfied with what exists. It is enthusiastic and excited. He is always in search of freedom and democracy. For this reason, the policies of the AKP-MHP fascist genocidal government towards the youth have come to naught. Youth has risen and struggled on its reality and goals again. Election is also a battleground. It is the youth that will determine the results of these elections, but also women, Alevis and laborers. This is seen very clearly.
We saw very clearly the enthusiasm, excitement and attitude of the youth at Newroz. Youth maintains this attitude even more strongly in the election environment. As our youth knows. Leader Apo said: “We started young. We will succeed as young people.” My call to the youth is that Leader Apo implements this call even more strongly in practice.
AKP-MHP PEOPLE NEEDED A DRIED ONION
AKP-MHP always say that they are local and national. However, the AKP emerged as a result of the international Greater Middle East Project. Erdogan was given a role on this basis. For this reason, Erdogan developed an attitude against Erbakan. It is on this basis that the AKP came to power. That’s why it’s a big lie, it’s a diversion. AKP has always worked the psychology of victimization. He also said that he would solve the problems in Turkey. He stated that he would promote democracy and freedom. With this, even if it shows itself as very human, whether in words or at the level of claims, of course it affected and deceived some parts of the society. But the point it has reached after 20 years is now covered with dirt and rust up to its throat. There is nothing clean left. Now everyone understands the reality of AKP. Everyone knows now that he did the opposite of what he said. Therefore, he can no longer deceive anyone. Maybe he cheated by now. Based on this, he continued his plunder. He developed all kinds of vices. He developed all kinds of rents. He developed corruption. It caused great damage in Turkey. He condemned the people to hunger and misery. He made me need a bread, a dry onion.
WOMEN SEE THAT AKP CAUSES GENOCIDE
It was women who first grasped this fact of the AKP. Now women are conscious. The naturalness, feelings and character of women made the AKP-MHP realize the reality of power before anyone else. For this reason, women entered the struggle against this power before anyone else. This struggle of women made the society comprehend the reality of AKP-MHP. This shows that women determine the future of society’s will for change. A women-led struggle brings an end to the genocide of AKP-MHP fascism. The world and nature of women is more equitable. She wants more democratic, libertarian and egalitarian values, she. She has this she. But the AKP and MHP fascist, genocidal government is far from and against all these values. For this reason, AKP, which received partial support from women before, is now deprived of this support. Because women were deprived. He was oppressed more than anyone else. Erdogan addressed this a little. He made such an appearance. For him, the woman gave some support. But in the end, he saw that this government, this party, developed the murder of women and became misogynistic. She cut her support for him. The AKP, which continues to rule with the support of women, can no longer maintain its power because it is deprived of this support. No power that loses the support of women can be successful.
THE GREEN LEFT PARTY MUST FULFILL ITS HISTORICAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Now, the Labor and Freedom Alliance of the Green Left Party must both organize itself and create a successful result in the election struggle by going from street to street, house to house, village to village. Those who need to go from street to street, house to house, village to village, are those who are both rightful and aggrieved. There are no victims as much as Kurds, Alevis, women, laborers, peoples who have experienced the massacres in Turkey. That’s why they need to put their heart and brain to win. This is their most natural right. For this reason, the Green Left Party should not consider its efforts sufficient. It should be based on reaching more people, influencing, organizing and mobilizing people. On this basis it should carry itself very strongly into the parliament. He must fulfill the duty and responsibility that history has set before him in this way. Because this choice is not just any choice. Türkiye’ It is an election that will determine the future of the Kurds, Alevis, women, workers, youth, and all peoples. Either Türkiye will institutionalize fascism or it will take a step towards a democratic republic. Election is such a choice. Socialists, democracy and freedom forces, Kurds, Alevis, women, workers and peoples, who have made great efforts for the development of the republic in the direction of democratization, gave great martyrs and suffered, should crown this struggle together. This is what is expected of them. Other than that, they should not accept anything, they should not consider themselves worthy. Therefore, they should not be content with what they have.
There is no such thing as easy. I think everyone has drawn this conclusion from what happened. On this basis, everyone has to work, not be content with anything, and put all their strength into getting the maximum result. If they do this, I can easily say that the AKP-MHP fascism will come to an end and Turkey will take a step towards democratization. AKP-MHP has nothing to give to society, women, Kurds, Alevis, laborers and peoples; it’s over.
Our job is to take them down. To meet everyone’s expectations. On this basis, my call to the Labor and Freedom Alliance, the Green Left Party, the Kurdish people, the Alevis, women, youth, workers, all peoples and everyone who are against fascism in Turkey is to make good use of this historical opportunity.
