The atrocities that took place in Diyarbakir and other cities of Turkey's southeastern region during the Eid al-Adha of 2014 have opened a new chapter in the massacres committed in Kurdistan's history.

While the inhuman practices of despot powers carried on people, on the one hand, the PKK's repression and attacks against people in the region who have not pledged themselves since its foundation, gained a new dimension on October 6-8, 2014 on the other hand.

The PKK/HDP people took to the streets on October 6-8, 2014, to "turn the whole region into Kobane" and began a massive massacre against the Muslim Kurdish people with the calls made by HDP headquarters and its co-chairman Selahattin Demirtaş.

Carrying sacrificial meat in their hands, youths knocking on the doors of the needy people were lynched, bearded people, women in hijab were targeted, mosques and Qur'an courses were set on fire and looted while Diyarbakir was the most important center of the attacks.

Yasin Börü, Hüseyin Dakak, Hasan Gökgöz, Riyad Güneş, Turan Yavaş, and Cumali Güneş, who were distributing sacrificial meat to the needy families, were brutally murdered in Diyarbakir by the mobs mobilized by HDP and its co-chairman.

Individuals and institutions with Islamic identities, mainly HUDA PAR, were also targeted in other provinces of the region.

October 6-8 process took a long time, Fethi Yalçın and Cengiz Tiryaki were brutally martyred as a result of armed attacks in Bingöl province in this period.

Latif Şener in Van province, Syrian Abdullah Mohammed Latif and his brother-in-law Fahad Ibrahim Elduveric, a citizen of Saudi Arabia, in Kızıltepe, district of Mardin province, were murdered by the PKK.

The only goal of this initiative was to purge the organized structures of the religious people

The events of October 6-8 were certainly not a try-on. It was a flagrant operation with the support of international forces, especially the United States.

However, this operation was not an attempt against the state of Turkey. That is why the state was silent about all that was going on and was only content with watching the events.

This initiative had only one goal. It was to purge the religious and organized structures of the religious people in the eastern provinces in Turkey.

The PKK has always carried this goal since its foundation. Indeed, there were similar massacre attempts and attacks in the 90s. The Susa and the Başbağlar massacres are only two examples.

The events of October 6-8 were not an event that began suddenly. The main event that stirs up a hornet's nest in Turkey's Kurdistan was the homage rally at Diyarbakir Station Square on Sunday, February 12, 2006, against the cartoon in Denmark insulting the Prophet.

The imperialist powers, who thought that the organized structure of the Muslim people had been completely destroyed and tried to sew new clothes for the Kurdish people, also noticed that the Kurdish people are committed to their faith and their Prophet.

Of course, the issue was not limited to just one rally. Islamic activities within NGOs have shown that the square is not as empty as they thought.

They became seriously worried when they realized that this situation would lead to the fall of their evil plans and projects in the 90s.

US officials had open and secret talks with PKK officials in the legal field

Members of the Hizbullah, a religious Kurdish community in Turkey, like everyone else, were evacuated under the 102nd clause of code of criminal procedure on January 4, 2011.

After these evictions, Abdullah Öcalan, leader of the PKK, called on his organization through his lawyer from Imralı, where he is under arrest: "… All this is happening in Diyarbakir... self-defense should be put in place, they should not be given place in Diyarbakir…"  

After these instructions, attacks on Islamic NGOs were intensified. In fact, five months after these instructions, Ubeydullah Durna, the head of the Mustazafs Association office in Yüksekova, was martyred in the association office by PKK supporters on May 5, 2011.

Looking at the details of the latest Wikileaks documents, US embassies and consulates have conducted investigations and prepared reports in this context.

Since then, a large number of US officials and consuls have had open or secret meetings with the PKK's legal officials. In the same way, it is a known fact that they meet and receive information in the same context with other institutions and individuals with whom they are connected in the region.

However, these talks had recently become public enough to participate in iftar programs in iftar tents. People in Diyarbakir slammed and showed their anger outside an iftar tent on July 15, 2014, where John Espinoza, U.S. Consul General in Adana, was going to attend. Espinoza was unable to attend the iftar due to the backlash.

"They targeted all Islamic structures and personalities"

After DAESH turned towards the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan and towards Kobane in Syrian Kurdistan, the national feelings that developed and consciously escalated in the Kurds had created a suitable environment for those with ulterior motives.

They didn't want to miss this opportunity either. First, they created a perception of DAESH through the media. Then they targeted all Islamic structures and personalities in the region, especially targeted HUDA PAR and the Mustazafs Association.

The October 6-8 massacre had been prepared months in advance. In September of 2014, when the Kobane event began, large numbers of weapons, ammunition, and militants were secretly transported to Diyarbakir, where they had chosen as their headquarters, as well as people by public transport from the provinces and districts in the region deployed to the city.

The target was dangerous and large. But with the residence of the religious of people in Diyarbakir had defeated this betrayal.

The state wasn’t around in the events of October 6-8

The state's attitude on that day is an exemplary and historical event. The state knew that events were coming, but it took no precautions.

Despite the atrocities committed, there were still efforts by politicians until a week after the events, to see this atrocity as reasonable and innocent made by the PKK.

However, the spear did not fit into the sack after the extent of the brutality, carnage, and plunder inflicted on the public was revealed.

After that, the mouth and discourse of politicians were changed, but a de-facto step was not taken.

Bülent Arınç, Deputy Prime Minister of the period, stated that "150 thousand people participated in the events" but the number of people prosecuted even was not as many as the number of people who killed.

The main instigators of the event were later rewarded with the settlement of Dolmabahçe and were declared folk heroes in Niwroz.

Abdullah Öcalan called on his supporters to take action through his brother. The HDP, the PKK's political extension called people for action with a written statement. The leader of the same party and its office in Diyarbakir made the same calls. They targeted Islamic NGOs by calling them DAESH.

Despite the fact that the instigators and perpetrators of the incident are known with all their evidence and that they have been circulating among us, no serious attempts have been made by either the security units or the judicial units.

On that day, the state did not want or could not use its statehood.

So, what is the PKK?

The PKK is a murderous organization with a Machiavellian mind. It is a structure that considers all kinds of lies, brutality, murder, and immorality legitimate for its own purpose. Its greatest principle is to be unprincipled.

It derives its value judgments from so-called thinkers and dictators such as Marx, Machiavelli, Mao, and Stalin.

The PKK has shed the blood of tens of thousands of innocent and religious Kurds since its establishment.

The 6-8 October atrocity was not a first in the history of the PKK. It killed many more women, children and old people in its history.

The atrocity implemented on Yasin Börü and his friends was a result of an instruction given to the PKK. It was the product of the same idea that a pregnant woman with her young children in Cizre, a southeastern city of Turkey, was wanted to be burned in her own home. (ILKHA)
