It has become habitual for the PKK and the HDP, whenever they find themselves in a fix, to rely on Öcalan for a way out. It is only at such times that they seem to remember Öcalan. But this time the Solution Process has come to a point where it might be difficult to put things together yet again.

If those that were passing harsh judgment on the losses of life incurred during the months-long Gezi demonstrations can now turn around to argue, in defence of the PKK, that “these people have no means left to them other than guns,” it is with the value of the human being, the individual, that we should begin.

We need to arrive at a principle stand on the following point: Can the political resort to arms and violence continue to be regarded as just and legitimate? Let’s make it a bit more concrete: Can the PKK’s recent acts of violence actually hold any benefit for the Kurds?

Knowing that it shares a similar nationalist voter-base with the AK Party, the MHP now follows a policy to undertake ‘nationalism' on its own through a propaganda accusing the AK Party of the reconciliation process.

Currently this country happens to be inhabited by media, academics and politicians that are ready and willing to embrace the devil itself at the drop of the single word “AKP.” Throughout the Solution Process, they worked very hard at getting the PKK to violate the truce, and now that it has happened they are working equally hard at finding excuses for it.
