2015-08-18 |
[Hurriyet Daily News] The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has started indirect talks with the United States, with a senior figure urging Washington to engage in mediation to solve the situation, the Daily Telegraph has reported. Cemil Bayik, the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council co-chair and a senior figure within the organization, said the PKK would accept a cease-fire under U.S. guarantees. "Of course there are messages, there are meetings, letters and they are likely to develop more," Bayik said. "I repeat my call that the U.S. mediate in this situation between us and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , and if they give us a guarantee, we would accept that role. Unless there are guarantees, we cannot take unilateral steps," he said. Bayik said the international perception of the organization had been changed due to its success in the fight against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria. He added that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... was responsible for the breakdown of the Kurdish grinding of the peace processor and the current crisis in the region. |
