Bayık: Kurdisch-Arabische Allianz kann Türkei stoppen

- Der Ko-Vorsitzende des Exekutivrats der KCK (Gemeinschaft der Gesellschaften Kurdistans), Cemil Bayik, hat sich in einer Sondersendung bei Stêrk TV über die türkischen Großmachtambitionen und mögliche Gegenstrategien geäußert. Bayik führte aus, dass der türkische Staat seiner Expansion das sunnitische Türkentum zugrunde lege und damit eine existenzielle Bedrohung für alle anderen Völker in seinem Machtbereich darstelle. Das AKP/MHP-Regime habe all seine Ressourcen mobilisiert, um das kurdische Volk und seine Freiheitsbewegung anzugreifen. Dabei gehe es um die vollständige Vernichtung des kurdischen Volkes. Es sei ausschließlich die PKK, die dem türkischen Staat einen Strich durch die Rechnung macht, so Bayik.
