| PKK Schedules "Serhildan" RSVP March 8th | |
| 2003-02-26 | |
| Tired of being upstaged, KADEK tries to steal "Rant Of The Week" title from North Korea. Separatist terror organization, Kurdistan Freedom and Democracy Congress (KADEK) — its previous name being Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) — call on Kurdish people to get prepared for "serhildan" (public uprising) for March 8. Talking on MEDTV, a pro-PKK Kurdish TV based abroad, by telephone, Osman Ocalan, member of the KADEK council, said, "The Kurdish people must prepare themselves for a public uprising in spring. The serhildan will begin on March 8 until the end of May and it will take an important place in history."
KADEK recently announced that they had ended the peace process and declared a so-called "War of Defense". KADEK also underlined that they would use tactics of creating an uprising in this unilateral war of "defense". Ocalan also claimed, "The next few months are very critical. There will be a system crisis and turmoil in the region. If the Kurdish people rise the democratic serhildan (popular uprising) in the next months, no power will be able to underrate them." Ocalan claimed that a secret special war was imposed in order to break the will of the Kurdish movement. He also called for "national unity" calling on Kurdish organizations. Threatening the Turkish government, terrorist Ocalan said, "A secret special war is imposed. They try to imply the policy of destruction and denial. Kurds are deprived of any rights. Our President — Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the terrorist organization PKK (KADEK) — is in isolation. We want steps to be taken toward a solution. If Turkey continues this policy, it will pay a high cost." Stating that 95 percent of the last war occurred in the mountains, Ocalan claimed, "Of course there will be mountains too but not like the old. Cities, villages, all parts of Turkey and Kurdistan will be a battle field. It will include not only military targets but the whole life. All institutions of the system will be targets. It will be a war in service of a political struggle. The Kurdish people must support it by every means. They must debate on the practice. We have said that youth must rush to the guerrilla lines." Accusing Justice and Development Party (AK Party) of attacking Kurds, Ocalan said, "The AKP government attacks Kurds. The Kurdish people must give both AKP and the state a lesson." Ocalan also called on people to boycott the by-election in Siirt. Ocalan also claimed that Turkey measured its own existence with the destruction of Kurds and the disagreement between the U.S. and Turkey arose from the Kurdish question. "KADEK and other Kurdish organizations were targeted," added Ocalan. He also warned Syria and Iran claiming that Iran and Syria had recently attacked Kurds. "Turkey tries to establish alliances with Syria and Iran against Kurds. Iran launched operations against Kurds on its borders. There are attacks on Kurds by Syria. To this day Syria has established friendly relations with Kurds. But after the new government, they attacked Kurds," said Ocalan on MEDTV. Ocalan said, "When it is time to take steps toward a solution on the Kurdish question, Turkey targets all the Kurdish forces and KADEK. Therefore all fears must be put aside and responsibilities must be shouldered. We say that the forces in the south are blind and they have to take steps according to KADEK's wishes. In case that a unity is not established, Turkey will make them ineffective in the south. There must be a plan to solve the Kurdish question both in southern and northern Kurdistan. The war will not bring gains to anybody. There is no winner in war. Therefore everybody must take steps to avoid war." "Secret Special War" - Our Kurdish Phrase of the Day! | |

| #1 I'll rate this an "E" for effort. However, it lacks that air of barely concealed ass-kissing and brown-nosing of a fearful NKor lackey aware of the ever present possiblity of getting fired and literally starving to death. "serhildan" lacks the punch that juche packs. An adequate and promising performance, but less than sterling when compared to the Masters. Practice makes perfect, Ocalan. |
