Would he say, 'Silence the nation too'?

Öcalan is apparently bothered by the language of the press!

Pervin Buldan announced it; this isn't some piece of backstage gossip whispered from ear to ear, nor is it a Zaytung satire piece.

He said it during the latest meeting at İmralı:

“Mr. Öcalan focused on an issue that deeply bothers him. He has serious criticisms. He clearly expressed that many channels and commentators still maintain the hostile language of the past, and that the concern of these circles is not resolution and peace, but rather demagoguery and hostility.”

He didn't stop there; he even attempted to give instructions to Tayyip Erdoğan, whom he views as someone who “needs me for the constitutional amendment anyway”:

“The fact that some commentators, reporters, and channels use expressions and commentary against the process is not a problem for us to solve. Because when we look at it, the media is in the hands of the government today, and the judiciary is in the hands of the AKP. We are talking about a government that has every power and dominates every area of life. Therefore, it is the government's duty to improve and eliminate all of this. But I must also state that no progress has been made on this matter.”

You might say, “What audacity,” “What insolence,” or “What arrogance,” but the writing was already on the wall.

If he had said anything less, or perhaps something like, “The government should pave the way for people to freely express their sensitivities, anger, and sadness; everyone's reaction should be met with understanding,” we might have been surprised.

Fake leftists, Kurdish nationalists, soft-brained liberals, globalists who act as voluntary servants of imperialism; in short, whoever has become muddled in the spiral of identity politics can polish him as much as they want, but that polish never sticks. When you scratch the surface, underneath lies a racist, feudal, cunningly pragmatic mentality that collaborates unconditionally with postmodern fascism.

But if you ask them, anyone who is a Kemalist, a Republican; anyone who defends secularism, the country's unity and integrity, who is committed to the founding philosophy and values, and who embraces national identity is a fascist...

Oh, give me a break!

So, will the government do what is required?

Will it silence the voices of journalists and commentators, especially in the opposition camp, just because Öcalan wants it?

It is likely.

Within a short time, we will understand this from the fines issued by RTÜK and the arrests related to social media.

Of course, there is a historic opportunity for Kurdish nationalists.

They don't want to let it slip through their fingers. Now, in the final stretch, they have no tolerance for dissenting voices muddying the waters.

That is why this time, he didn't speak in meaningless flowery sentences, he didn't ramble; he said it clearly.

He is filled with infinite self-confidence because his every word is treated as a command.

He must see not only the government but also the main opposition party in the palm of his hand!

Özgür Özel, who dove headfirst into the commission of betrayal in Parliament and never misses an opportunity to curry favor with Kurdish nationalists, only pretending to react to the “Biji Serok Apo” slogans at the DEM group meeting, brushing the issue aside with a few perfunctory sentences...

Presidential candidate İmamoğlu, in an article he wrote for the French newspaper Le Monde, saying things like “I dared to put Kurdish candidates on my municipal lists...” in a way that would please the Kurdish nationalists!

How would an ordinary French person reading this perceive the issue? That running for office or being nominated as a Kurd in Turkey is an act of “courage” because the paths to politics are closed to Kurds!

If the DEM members had engaged in such propaganda 24/7, it wouldn't have been as effective as İmamoğlu's article.

Öcalan probably thought, “It doesn't get any better than this for us.”

In short;

With the initiative of Bahçeli—whose service to dark circles is either unclear or all too clear—the terrorist organization PKK and its Syrian offshoot YPG have gained legitimacy, the organization's political wing in the TBMM, DEM, has become acceptable and reputable, and the blood-stained terrorist leader has become a counterpart to the state.

That is why he thinks he can lay down the law as he pleases. He probably wouldn't have believed it even if he saw it in a dream.

Now, it is on the agenda for a delegation of deputies from the commission of betrayal in Parliament to go to İmralı and visit him.

What more could there be?

Even Bülent Arınç came out and said, “If no one else volunteers, I will go to İmralı and meet with Öcalan.”

Are we surprised? Of course not!

With things as they are, will he say in a little while that he is bothered not only by the language of the press but also by the sensitivities and reactions shown by the nation, and since the police and the judiciary are in his hands anyway, that the government should do what is necessary, silence the nation, and grab anyone who objects by the ear and throw them inside?

Let us end our article by saying: have no doubt about it.
