The bald head is showing!

Yet, they were trying so hard to convince us that there was no deal on the table.

There was, and a major one at that...

Moreover, this deal was so secretbehind closed doors done through hesitant, shy contactswe can also understand that it is not.

A political equation carefully constructed, beautifully calculated,demands put into writing,andits interlocutors are out in the open it isvery obvious.

As far as wecan see, they have already evenshaken hands and are waiting for theright moment to deliver the final blow.

First, Saygı Öztürk wroteit. He detailed Abdullah Öcalan'sdemands placed on the table.

Öcalan, in the so-called Kurdish regions, demanded education in the mother tongue,and in the coming stin the process, he reportedly wants Kurdish to be an official languageand is opposed to the SDF laying down its arms andis speaking out against it.

He is even suggesting that they become police officers if not soldiers; according toÖcalan, Turks and Kurds should be included in the Constitution as two distinct peoples.supposedly, Article 66 of the Constitution should be amended, and so on...

He must havefound theseinsufficient, as he also demandedamnesty for PKK terrorists, that they be given jobs, undergo rehabilitation, and that their path be clearedin politics.

Then, the report that DEM submitted to theParliamentary commission on Öcalan emerged.

Theywrote it all down withoutany hesitation.

We already knew that they have issues with the nation-state and with Lausanne, the founding document of the country, and that they wantÖcalan to be released.

In short, they are implying that the Republic of Turkey should be abolishedand replaced by an Islamist, Kurdishfederation.

NearfuLet us put on our thinking caps.

The core of Öcalan's demands is clear: Political agency.to register its reputation. Not just for himselfbut also for the structure herepresents...

“Let the armedstruggleend,” he says, but inreturn, he demands the organization be re-recognized on political and legal groundsimplementation.

In other words, the price of laying down arms is constitutional and legaltransformation.

The report that DEM submitted to the Parliamentary commissionfilters and packages these demands.The words have been carefully chosenadorned with flashy conceptslike;“Democratization”, “strengthening localgovernments”, “ethnic citizenship”, “public service in the mother tongue”

Whoever buys it now...

All of these seemingly innocent headings are aimed atTurkey’s unitary structureits warmth, political unity, and the country's integrityinto a debate, or evenparts of a framework that goes beyond that..

The critical point here is this: These demands are no longer those of a marginal party's senot a declaration ofintent, but rather underthe roof of Parliament, it is included in a report submitted to a commission.It isthere.

In other words, it has gained legitimacy in some way.

And this is precisely the breaking point.

Since the Ubaydullah uprising, what they have wanted has beenmore or less the same, soboth Öcalan'sdemands and the requests included in the DEM report were not surprisingto those who havegiven even a little thought to the matter.

It is worth sitting straight and speaking honestly.

Here, for the government and the Kurds, the real issue is convincing the people of my country.

However, they just cannot manage it, no matter how much they talk about a "Turkey without terror," "peace process, brotherhood, national unity, andEven though they try to stir things up by talking about "integrity" and the like,they could not bring people to the point they wanted.

The fact that their feet areconstantly on the brakeis for this reason.Because there is great resistance in society to this process of betrayal.

No one wants to accept it easily.

The people of my countryrightly asks; Why this surrender, when Turkey has not lost a war!

On the other hand, Kurdish nationalists have seized a great opportunity. They believe they should not miss it. they know very well.

Behindthem, there is a West that standsmore powerful than at anypoint in history.powerful way.

From America to Europe, from Russia to Israel, those with an agenda in the Middle East areThey have filled their sails with the wind.

They are not just moving forward with the support they receive from their imperialist masters.

In Turkey, the government as well as the main opposition are somehow on their side.

Tayyip Erdoğan, in order to both make his power absolute and not lose the legitimacy provided by America, needs the support of the Kurdish nationalists.dependent on.

As for the CHP, it is very keen on engaging in a pissing contestwith the government!

In name, it is the founding party of the country, but they openlywant to destroy the Republic ofTurkey,asnot toopenlysupport the Kurdish nationalists to pamperfor noopportunitymisshas a Chairman who does not break.

The government is secretly pumping this into the CHP: if you support thisprocess, there won't be muchreaction from your base, but if you come outopenlyandclearly against it If youspeak out, you are declared an “enemy of peace.”Thestory he is trying to sell is exactly this.

The story he is trying tosell is exactly this.

Tayyip Erdoğan is calculating the political cost of his contact with the DEM Party.it became possibleas much as possible, they want to load it onto the back of the CHP.load it.

In other words, two birdswith one stone:

Both the DEMvoter base will be fortified, and the CHP will be cornered.cornered.

The real danger lies here. What are called "advice," "suggestions," or "reports" today, what will happen when they appearbefore us tomorrow as constitutional amendments? What will happen? What kind of political position will the CHP take? The initial signals coming from the Headquarters are not very promising. Özgür Özel is waitingin the starting blocks as if he is ready to grab the saltand run.

Increasing the powers of local governments,weakening the centraladministration,identity-based definitions of citizenship… None of theseare technical regulations;they areopenlyclearLet us say it clearly: these are regime debates!

Pointing to the founder of an armed organization as the addressee of these debates is the state dynamiting its own foundation of legitimacy.

Once again, let us underline let us state clearly: the state does not negotiate with terrorism; it fights against terrorism. The state does not bargain with criminals;it enforces the law.

 

Every step backward here legitimizes those who take up arms to confront the state with political demands, andanyone who uses their head even a little bit cansee that this will have no end,I wrote, sayingLet us put an end to it.
