Kongra-Gel refutes statements of the Turkish General Staff
Kurdishaspect.com - Translated by Mizgin Yilmaz
KONGRA-Gel chairman Zübeyir Aydar refuted the Turkish general staff statement about [PKK leader] Cemil Bayik, that he had run away to a neighboring country and that his status was unknown.
In his statement, Aydar said, "Since the disinformation about KCK's executive council chief Murat Karayılan, that was released for several days, did not convince people, this time they are giving disinformation about Cemil Bayik. By doing so, they are implementing a psychological war. All these statements are entirely aimed at affecting the public's mind and demoralizing the Kurdish people. No one must give any credit to such statements."
KONGRA-Gel president Aydar said: "To be honest, we were also curious about the Turkish general staff's surprise; however now it is more obvious that this "surprise" is rubbish. Our friend Cemil Bayik neither went to another country nor has been "made dysfunctional". He is on duty, doing his work. No one has run away anywhere. There isn't any panic atmosphere. These are statements to affect the public's mind in their psychological war. No one must give any credit to these statements. Every week they state some news like one of PKK's administrators is killed or has run away. By doing so they want to demoralize our people.
"Actually, they are forcing our organization to make statements. This [news] mustn't be taken seriously. These generals have several stars but their lies are too much! These lies are disrespectful of the Turkish people. Indeed, these false statements show how these generals are lacking in seriousness. We did not know they were this desperate."
Regarding PKK's casualties, Aydar said, "Our movement has a characteristic: we feel that we are responsible toward our people. This movement has always been open, never hiding its casualties; it mentions when it has casualties," and wanted Kurdish people not to give credit to such false news which aims at disinformation.
