Kongra star statement about the insults towards the Leader Abdullah Ocalan.
As the Kongra Star, we have been closely following the recent insults and acts of disrespect towards the Leader Abdullah Ocalan. Indeed, at a time when all efforts and struggles are being waged on the basis of peace and democracy, and when the Leader Abdullah Ocalan persistently calls for the brotherhood of peoples, such attacks are both shameful and cowardly.
We would like to state clearly that the remarks made in parliament by Musavat Dervişoğlu and Turan Çömez, members of the İYİ Party, serve only to create confusion and division. As a result of such statements, we have seen today dirty insults directed against our Leadership from the stands during the Georgia–Turkey football match.
We know very well that figures like Turan Çömez and Musavat Dervişoğlu fuel hatred among peoples and pave the way for such hostility. They are agents of provocation, not peace. In truth, these individuals benefit from war, from the killing of young people, from human suffering and crisis. That is why they do not want peace among peoples — because peace would deprive them of their gain.
However, it is a fact recognized across the world that the Leader Abdullah Ocalan is today the person most dedicated to the peace and harmony of societies. Our Leadership has long struggled for peace among the peoples of Turkey, standing against the poison of nationalism. For 27 years, under the harshest conditions of isolation, he has continued to develop the project of peace and democracy, striving only to prevent conflict between peoples. Therefore, the current attitudes being promoted are completely unacceptable.This is not a nationalist stance — it is a calculated political tactic.
We know that the triangle of state–army–nation continues to deepen Turkish nationalism. This only fuels division, blind hatred, and anger between peoples. Those who pave the way for such dangers act, in essence, against their own country and people. They oppose the peace and democracy of peoples and draw their power from war.
In particular, the hateful rhetoric of the İYİ Party’s deputy leader, Musavat Dervişoğlu, incites bloodshed, fuels conflict among peoples, and spreads fascism and hostility toward all communities.
Instead of such behavior, these individuals should meet with the the leader Abdullah Ocalan and engage in genuine dialogue for a democratic future for Turkey. Yet rather than advancing such efforts, they choose to sabotage them — and this cannot be accepted.
Let it be known that hostility towards our Leadership is hostility towards all women and all peoples. As Kongra Star, we strongly condemn the attacks and insults directed at Pervin Buldan. All women’s organizations should take a clear and vigilant stand in response.
As women of Rojava, we declare: the freedom of our Leadership is our own freedom. We do not accept insults against the Leader Abdullah Ocalan or our politicians. All friends and organizations should take action to expose these individuals so that they can no longer spread such words with impunity.
