Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) is preparing to declare “democratic autonomy” Murat Karayilan, the president of the Kurdistan Democratic Confederation (KCK) Executive Council, said.
PKK was forced to end ceasefire after Turkish state failed to declare a truce of its own and will take unilateral steps to solve the Kurdish question, Karayilan told ANF Turkish.
“If Turkish state won’t take certain steps for a solution and targets this ‘democratic autonomy, then we will have no choice but to develop a solution under the framework of democratic confederalism” he said.
Karayilan harshly criticised Turkish state and told PKK did everything on its part for the establishment bilateral truce but AKP and Turkish state are not sincere when it comes to solve the Kurdish question.
Karayilan also said there is no relation between Israel naval attack to Turkish ships and PKK’s attack to the naval base at Hatay and labelled the claims “immoral”.
The naval base in Hatay became a target for the Kurdish guerrillas after Turkish army’s recent operations, Karayilan said.
Karayilan also warned that the guerrillas may target Turkish army in western Turkey.
