Was There Studying at the Same School Before the AKP?!

Amid the excitement over genocidal Netanyahu’s “boss” Trump coming to Turkey for Erdoğan and the NATO Summit, this should not be overlooked: Numan Kurtulmuş, the parliamentary trailblazer of the PKK opening, made important remarks at the “Prophet Noah Commemoration Ceremony” held on Mount Cudi.

First, he gave the good news that Parliament, which was closed for the NATO meeting, would be put to work to pass the PKK package. (!)

Kurtulmuş said the following about the planned law, which they call a “framework,” while the terrorist leader on İmralı and his men call it a “stem-cell law”:

“This law will be a special and temporary law. In other words, a law concerning members of the dissolved terrorist organization... A certain period will be given. Members who come and lay down their arms, who declare that they have given up organizational activities, will benefit from this. It will never have the nature of an amnesty. It will not be a law in the nature of a general amnesty... Since the essential thing is to ensure as soon as possible the return and disarmament of the militants of the armed terrorist organization, the period should not be prolonged. 6 months, 8 months, 1 year; I don’t know, that will be discussed and decided... God willing, after the PKK terrorist organization completely lays down its arms in a very short time, our work will be much easier and the road ahead will be open.”

The Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey also claimed, while stating that 80 percent of the issue had been left behind, “As far as we can see, the organization’s determination is now complete and clear.”

The Organization Is This “Determined”

Yet just three days before these remarks by Kurtulmuş, the KCK, the umbrella structure of the terrorist organization, announced what they were determined about and to what extent as follows:

“We pass a law; whoever comes, comes, whoever does not, does not — that will not work... If a law like the return home law is passed and a comprehensive democratic solution approach is not put forward, neither our people nor our organizational structure will accept this. In this respect, if the problems of a hundred-year-old issue and fifty years of conflict and rupture are to be solved, a correct understanding and approach must be put forward.”

After that, DEM Group Deputy Chair Sezai Temelli stressed that the passage of this law through Parliament was a necessity and said, “This is of very great importance; it concerns the future of all of us, Turkey’s peace, and will constitute the first step for Turkey truly to attain democracy and the rule of law.”

Following Temelli, DEM Spokesperson Ayşegül Doğan noted that an agreement had been reached on putting Parliament to work, and, just like the KCK, objected to the approach of “Whoever comes, comes, whoever does not, does not,” explaining what they wanted as follows:

“The law will come, yes, but what will come? How will it come?.. From the very beginning, we have said that there is a need for a comprehensive legal framework that will strengthen democratic politics, create legal guarantees, support social peace, and establish the institutional foundations of a new period in which democratic struggle replaces the period of conflict. In his call on February 27, 2025, the leader of the organization, Mr. Öcalan, also drew attention to this need for legal guarantees... We said the framework law should be handled as a critical initial step that will determine the post-disarmament period... We are talking about a legal regulation that will reflect and serve as a source for all legal arrangements needed from now on... It must also not be forgotten that the existence of the armed organization is the result of the unresolved Kurdish issue. That is why how this door will be opened is so important.”

In short, they are not content with terrorists coming to Turkey as they please. They see the “root law” to be enacted only as the basis for other legal, even constitutional, changes that will solve the “Kurdish issue.”

The branches they hope will grow from this “root” and for which they seek “legal guarantees” are becoming clear step by step: the “liberation” of the terrorist leader, the right for terrorists to engage in separatism not with weapons but through politics, autonomy for local administrations, recognition of Kurdish identity, Kurdish becoming an official language...

If Anyone Does It, the AKP Does It

In the context of these unchanging goals of the separatist terrorist organization, let us come to the second important piece of good news (!) given by Speaker of Parliament Numan Kurtulmuş on Mount Cudi.

First he said:

“There is no separation or distinction among all 86 million of our nation living in this country. Our past is one, our future is one, our destiny is one, and our present is one. There is nothing that can separate us from ourselves. Our customs are one, our traditions are one, the words we use are one, our sentences are one, our mourning is one, our weddings and our halay are one. Within so much unity, with oneness, within unity, by holding fast to God’s rope and to brotherhood, we will be much stronger.”

Then, explaining that before the summer months end, “with the terrorist organization completely laying down its arms and its liquidation, and with the laws to be enacted in Parliament, this matter will now be left completely behind, and unity and solidarity will prevail in the country,” he said:

“The Lord of the Kurd is one, and the Lord of the Turk is one. There is no cultural or faith characteristic that distinguishes a Kurd from a Turk. Now our Kurdish Ahmet and Turkish Mehmet will be side by side in the same school classroom, will work in the same factory, will be children of the same country, and will struggle together to prepare a more advanced future.”

So that means, until now, “our Kurdish Ahmet and Turkish Mehmet” did not study at the same school, in the same classroom, did not work in the same factory, were not children of the same country, and now, thanks to the “terror-free Turkey” process, these things will happen!..

See? Apparently they were not saying “if anyone does it, the AKP does it” for nothing!..
