PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) Executive Committee Member Duran Kalkan spoke to Politik Alan (Political Sphere) program on Med Nuçe TV.

Evaluating the results of the recent snap election, Kalkan said November 1 civil fascist coup is a continuation of the 12 September military fascist coup, and aims to restore and sustain the fascist dictatorship brought out by the coup. He underlined that; "They want to hinder the fall of dictatorship and founding of Democratic Republic. November 1 coup was aimed to block the way paved by June 7 election towards a Democratic Republic."

Kalkan recalled that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called the current process as "a period of obtaining results" as AKP has taken a step by forming a government. He pointed out that the coming period will witness a final battle between fascism and democracy, and between colonialism and Kurdish freedom.

"There is indeed a great struggle taking place on a final level. The coming winter will witness such a great struggle. Within the scope of the duty and fascist policy of cultural genocide handed over to it, the AKP government will conduct all kinds of attacks for the elimination and annihilation of the Kurdish people and movement. In response, we will resist as a whole, in every single street, house, neighborhood, town, mountain and valley. Youths and women, young and old alike will all resist. The people will resist, guerrilla will resist, our people abroad will resist, and those jailed in prisons will resist."

'WE RESIST WITH THE STANCE OF THE LEADER'

Remarking that the resistance is being led by the Kurdish Leader's stance, Kalkan said Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan himself is in a resisting position, adding; "The Leader is resisting. He has adopted a stance against all these things. He said freedom can be achieved through struggle and adopted a position of struggle. This resistance is sacred and it will triumph. There is no other way to win. I am calling upon all our patriotic people to not listen to those that promise anything other than resistance. Be aware against those that try to drag you into pacifism and surrender."

'TURKEY HAS LEFT KURDISTAN ALONE'

Putting emphasis on the importance of ensuring unity in every inch of Kurdistan, as well as unity with the peoples and democratic forces of Turkey, PKK Executive said Kurdistan has been left alone in its resistance, adding; "When somewhere is targeted by a fascist attack, all the other towns and cities should stand up and support it. Solidarity and support should be raised by revolutionist and democratic circles in Turkish cities, and enhanced further in Adana, Mersin, Antep, Çukurova and İstanbul. Kurdistan and the Kurdish resistance is being left alone, despite the fact that today's Cizre, Gever, Farqin, Nusaybin and Varto are no different from last winter's Kobanê. These towns are the places where the heart of free Kurds and democratic humanity beats."

'AKP HEADS TOWARDS BAKUR AFTER SUFFERING DEFEAT EVERYWHERE'

Citing reports they have received that the AKP has decided to lay siege to Kurdish towns 15 times if considered necessary, Kalkan said; "The enemy is determined, but we are also determined to resist. The AKP government is enemy to Kurds and stands against them. It wants to eliminate and annihilate the Kurds. AKP has been brought to power again and given a task to lead the international conspiracy to success. AKP has been defeated in Kobanê and Shengal already, and it is suffering a defeat in Syria now. After its failure to accomplish in its attacks in other parts of Kurdistan through ISIS, AKP is now heading towards Bakurê (Northern) Kurdistan with all its force. The people of Bakurê Kurdistan who are leading the national revival revolution put up brave resistance that is able to put the AKP in the trash of history, in the same way they have done to many other governments before AKP. We are committed and have the power to do so."

'AKP WANTS TO ACT AS IT WISHES'

Regarding AKP's recent statements rejecting talks with PKK, Qandil, İmralı and HDP, Kalkan criticized this attitude of generating a new interlocutor out of village guards and aghas who are already settled with AKP. He added; "These people are already surrendered to AKP, they have no problems. The only thing that concerns them is how much AKP will pay them. This is why this discourse by AKP cannot be taken serious by our side."

Kalkan said AKP is of the opinion that Qandil [referring to PKK] will grow stronger in the event that talks with Öcalan re-begin, and noted the followings; "It is up to them whether they will talk to İmralı and Qandil or not. Yet, our people should never feel concerned because the very same people will have to hold these talks of necessity when our people and guerrillas resist with success under the leadership of the party."

'HDP IS THE ESSENCE OF A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC'

Expressing his views on HDP, PKK Executive Kalkan described the party as the essence of a democratic republic and building of a democratic Turkey. "If gets closed, HDP can continue under another name, and as a party that has already revealed the power for the creation of a democratic Turkey and republic. This new power has been generated by the unification of Turkey's democratic forces and Kurdish freedom forces. In the coming months, the struggle for democracy will triumph over the 45-year-old fascism. This power will be the creator of a democratic Turkey, let alone be an interlocutor."

'ERDOĞAN IS DEPENDANT ON ISIS'

Kalkan recalled the fact that Kurdish leader Öcalan has made ceaseless efforts so far to avoid Turkey's ending up in the current situation and surrendering to foreign forces and fascist powers. He added; "Leader Apo pointed to democratization and resolution of the Kurdish question as the way to keep Turkey standing as a country of freedoms. If this had come true, Erdoğan wouldn't have to beg of Europe and America now, and Turkey would become a power guiding the whole humanity. This failure itself proves Leader Apo's righteousness as Erdoğan's policy has brought it to a point of being dependant on ISIS. Turkey's intellectuals, politicians and all those who truly love Turkey must see very well who are the ones that will render Turkey a truly free and democratic country. Leader Apo is the only person to achieve Turkish-Kurdish peace in real terms. The practice of the course anticipated by Leader Apo is the only way to end up in success and create a democratic Turkey, and this requires free conditions of living and working for the Leader."
