01 January / International Bulletin / No. 147 In March 2013 the PKK ’s and Kurdish people’s leader A. Öcalan who has been imprisoned on Imrali Island decided for a “ceasefire situation” and made a call on the government. Following this, the “solution period” has since then continued with tension, clashes, stress and crises. The reason for this is the policy of the colonial Turkish bourgeois state and the AKP government to divert and extend the period, to divide content and solution from each other and make people get used to that. The state terror and the oppressing policy have made the period stop at some point. Both parties have not proceeded from the dialogue to the negotiation period. During this period the HDP (People’s Democratic Party) committee visiting A. Öcalan on Imrali Island has grown with more members. The “Council of the Solution Period” consisting of the HDP committee and the government have started to meet. The AKP government passed the “Law on the Solution Period” which actually saves itself as well as the state’s bureaucratic forces joining the negotiations. The draft for the negotiations prepared by A. Öcalan was started to be discussed among the public. However, there hasn’t been a sufficient explanation on the content of the negotiations and the negotiation draft. The government clearly insisted on its policy to divert and extend the situation. It can be said that the AKP government wanted to have a ceasefire until the general elections in June 2015, but prepared for war instead and took the decision for this at the NSC (National Security Council) Meeting in October 2014. The continuation of the solution period and possible negotiation results will be shaped and continued according to the power relations and will between the revolution and counterrevolution as well as the enforcing and regressive impact of the revolutionary action and war of the revolutionary movement and the Kurdish people on the fascist regime. Today the colonial fascist regime and the AKP government are experiencing a big interior and exterior crisis, problems and difficulties. With its foreign policy and “New Turkey” and New Ottomanish politics in the Middle East it will live the biggest isolation in history. Its politics on the Middle East, Syria and Rojava have failed. The fact that the AKP government decided to go for strategic collaboration with ISIS and have the same ideological basis and have practiced different politics in comparison to the USA and the EU countries on Egypt, Israel, the Muslim Brothers and other topics. This has played an important role in becoming isolated. The formation of a democratic Kurdish leadership Rojava in Syria after the federal Kurdish leadership in Iraq frightens the colonial Turkish bourgeois regime that has been fighting the Kurdish national liberation forces for 30 years in terms of a united Kurdish political tendency and status in Northern Kurdistan (Turkey Kurdistan) and the region. In the last two years the AKP government has also experienced big interior political crisis: the rebellion in June 2013, the corruption and bribery scandal around 4 ministers which became public through the F. Gülen movement within the state in December 2013 among them Prime Minister T. Erdogan, 301 mine workers in Soma dying through drowning, finally the support of the government of ISIS against the resistance in Kobane on 6th to 8th October 2014 as well as its extension of the situation during the “solution period”; every rebellion period in Turkey and Kurdistan showed the breakdown of the government. If the AKP government doesn’t accept compromises on the Kurdish question in the upcoming period, it will collapse just like the governments before. On the one hand the AKP government talks about the “solution period” and wants a ceasefire; on the other hand it attacks the Kurdish people and the Kurdish liberation movement with fascist-reactionary laws and politics using laws on “public order” and “inner security”. The regime continues its dirty war in Rojava and Kobane through ISIS and in Northern Kurdistan through the radical Islamic organization Hizbullah and its extension force Hüda-Par. The PKK and the Kurdish liberation movement are experiencing the strongest period in Kurdistan, the Middle East and internationally in history. The resistances of the PKK, HPG , YPG and YPJ in Sengal, Maxmur and Kobane as well as the solidarity actions on the World Action Day with Kobane on 1st November 2014 created big political support, opportunities and conditions. For the first time in history the Kurds have the conditions to have a higher political status. The Kurdish people and the PKK are expecting the continuation of the solution period with a negotiation period and no more extending the situation but make concrete steps. It is expected to make steps appropriate to the “solution draft” A. Öcalan and the state commission had agreed on before the general elections in June 2015. The Kurdish national movement and the PKK demand education in the mother tongue, the acceptance of the Kurdish identity, democratic sovereignty, the release of sick prisoners as well as improving the conditions in prison of A.Öcalan towards leaving him free. The AKP government demands the disarming of the PKK in Turkey and the guerilla to leave the country. The “solution period” continues with tension and clashes on the basis of insecurity by zigzagging. On December 27, two young people were killed and dozens injured when the police and army of the AKP government collaborating with Hüda-Par, the representation of the Hizbullah in the region as well as the ISIS gangs attacked the people in Cizre, Kurdistan. The AKP attacks any of the Kurdish people’s attempt and wish for self-defense, safety and militia power, justice and education considering these as a big “security problem”. The AKP government won’t tend to a solution on the basis of accepting the collective rights of the Kurdish nation as well as accepting democratic sovereignty and the Kurdish identity. The acceptance of these demands means the abolition of the fascist laws, the disbandment of open and secret fascist organisations and the reformation of the state with its different institutions. The freedom of the Kurds requires the democratization of Turkey. Social as well as political relations and the government’s leadership politics don’t allow this. The colonial fascist regime will be forced to allow some cultural rights on an individual basis. The abolition of the malice in the EU local authorities’ law, the demands for education in the mother tongue and Kurdish identity to be determined in the constitution in future, the release of sick political prisoners; these are some concessions or improvements which are minimal and byproduct of the revolution are some points which must be practiced. Our party considers it as necessary to lead the struggle for these demands, too to ensure equal rights and freedom to the Kurdish nation. The MLCP considers the solution of the Kurdish question in the Kurdish nation defining its own fate including the foundation of an own state, and the fully equal rights of all nations and languages. And this requires a labourer solution. This will be achieved with the united revolution of our peoples in Turkey and Mesopotamia and the collapse of the colonial fascist regime as well as the win of political freedoms
