PKK military leader warns of possible coup and civil war - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

PKK military leader warns of possible coup and civil war

Recent statements from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and remarks by Cemal Bayik, the co-chair of the Union of Kurdish Communities (KCK), clearly indicate that Turkey and the PKK feel the need for a new negotiation process. He says, “We openly stated that the course Turkey was on is dangerous. If Turkey, the [Justice and Development Party] AKP government and [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan don’t abandon their enmity to Kurds, humanity and democracy, Turkey will end up with either a coup or a civil war. They have to see their policies are destroying Turkey and must sit down to negotiations immediately.”
