ANF - AMED 10.10.2014 20:30:20

HDP-DTK-DBP Co-Presidents and HDK co-spokespersons have made a statement regarding the incidents that have occurred during solidarity protests for Kobanê, calling for “people not to resort to violence against one another”, for “a full investigation of the incident Bingöl” and “for messages that reduce tension”.

HDP Co-Presidents Figen Yüksekdağ and Selahattin Demirtaş, DTK Co-Presidents Selma Irmak and Hatip Dicle, DBP Co-Presidents Emine Ayna and Kamuran Yüksek HDK co-spokespersons Sebahat Tuncel and Ertuğrul Kürkçü have issued a joint statement regarding the solidarity protests with Kobanê that have continued since 6 October.

They want to seize Mürşitpınar

The joint statement by HDP-DTK-DBP- HDK warned that developments linked to the ISIS encirclement of Kobanê have reached grave levels,and that the situation is critical, adding; “ISIS is mounting unrelenting attacks with heavy weaponry in order to capture the Mürşitpınar border crossing. Air strikes by the coalition forces are only having a partial effect and are far from achieving success.”


Security must be established in order for situation in Kobanê to be normalised

HDP-DTK-DBP Co-Presidents said they do not feel it is necessary to express the humanitarian and political outcome that would result if ISIS were to seize Kobanê; “We want to eliminate this internal and external threat to our peoples together with the government. We wish to draw attention to the vital importance of keeping the Turkish border, which is the only access point to Kobanê, open.”

The statement continued; “Although there may be problems from time to time, we consider the fact that the Mürşitpınar border gate allows humanitarian aid into Kobanê, and that wounded people can cross, is a significant and positive stance. We also believe that everyone should contribute to the establishing of an environment of trust so that support may be provided to Kobanê. We are at the moment endeavouring to improve relations based on common sense and dialogue in order that the situation in Kobanê be ameliorated.”

Attempts being made to create internal conflict

The Co-Presidents stressed that they consider it significant and necessary that the Kurdish people are coming onto the streets to take ownership of Kobanê and raise public awareness. However, -the statement added- it is apparent that there are circles that have been lying in wait and are attempting to create serious internal conflict. “Although we do not know exactly who these people are, it is clear that they are not involved in the process of resolution.”

Common sense policies needed for Kobanê

Kurdish politicians also emphasised that “In this chaotic environment we must form common sense policies that do not abandon Kobanê, do not present an opportunity for provocations, maintain the process and protect people.”

People should not resort to violence against each other

The HDP-DTK-DBP- HDK called on people to refrain from resorting to violence.

Bingöl incident should be investigated

Commenting the attack on the Police chief in Bingöl and subsequent incidents and deaths as a serious development, the statement said there should be a full investigation, as such incidents have the potential to negatively influence events.

Messages should be issued to defuse tension

“Despite all the tension and pain, we expect the government to continue its positive steps (such as facilitating the passage of wounded people and humanitarian aid across the border), taking into consideration the contribution of Mr. Öcalan, preventing the attacks by provocateurs on civilians, and acting in a responsible way by issuing messages that will defuse tension”, the co-presidents said, adding that they hope that the KCK executive will also repeat their call to demonstrators to refrain from violence, investigate armed actions and take measures to reduce tension."

The statement by Kurdish politicians noted that they also believe that if the press use a more reasonable language towards the pro-Kurdish party and leaders instead of threats and insults, this would make a positive contribution to our efforts.

It is possible to prevent serious conflict and massacre if we work together, the statement added.
