In an interview with leftist Turkish daily Evrensel, the left wing human rights activist, writer and journalist Ertugrul Kurkcu spoke about the Kurdish problem and the ongoing military operations against the PKK. Kurkcu claimed that AKP government wants to find the solution to the problem in the Islamization of the Kurds and within the framework of Islamic brotherhood and unity – a project which has ties to the U.S. too.
He said that the Kurdish question cannot be solved within the borders of just one country and that the real solution would mean Kurds taking their own destiny into their own hands in all the countries that rule them. Kurkcu added, “Midnight air attacks with 50 war planes, fuel transfer in the air, laser technology to identify and hit targets are all aimed at sending a message to the region about the strength of the Turkish Armed Forces, rather than targeting the PKK”.
