Cemil Bayık: Turkey's policy in Northern Syria and Iraq is 'dangerous for the whole world'

The KCK Executive Council Co-President Cemil Bayık stated that the AKP government blackmails the whole world by legitimizing and promoting ISIS.


Calling the world's attention to the successful battle of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) led by People's and Women's Protection Units (YPG/YPJ) against Daesh, Bayık emphasised that, "the SDF is capable of pushing Daesh forces out of Jarablus within a short period time. They can take Raqqa as well if Turkey were not siding with Daesh. International powers should remove this obstacle of Turkey.”

Bayık made significant evaluations in his column on Azadiya Welat and Yeni Özgür Politika dailies, in which he wrote about eliminating Turkey's barrier in the fight against ISIS, a pro-ISIS mindset has been growing in Turkish society and the Turkish state's military and political attacks against the people of Kurdistan.

Bayık wrote the following statement under the title 'AKP blackmails the world.'

"Just like what happened during the Turkish national team's previous soccer match in Konya, another national soccer game in Istanbul has witnessed a protest of massacred people. Victims of the Paris attacks were booed and the minute of silence was turned into a public expression of respect for the suicide bombers. This is what's become of Turkey today. These cases have clearly manifested an identity of the mindsets between the AKP and Daesh.

The AKP has turned Turkey into a country where massacre is celebrated

Has anyone ever seen a community that celebrates the death of civilians so much? The AKP government has turned Turkey into a country where the massacre of civilians is welcomed with joy. Nothing could be so terrifying as leading a society to a point like this. The praise of murderers and protest of victims in Konya and Istanbul did not happen for no reason. This is a situation created by the AKP government. Aside from the political and financial support, Daesh also receives a great amount of moral support from Turkey. From this point of view, it's delusional to assume that Turkey will fight against Daesh. Those from the same mindset do not fight each other, but only strengthen each other.

Turkey's policies are dangerous for the whole world

The massacre in Paris has proven that Turkey pursues a policy danger for the whole world, in addition to the Kurds and the Middle East. Just like the Ankara massacre which was perpetrated in collaboration with AKP, the Paris massacre was also a consequence of the policies pursued by Turkey. Whoever ignores this truth cannot wage a straight fight against Daesh. It is not possible to get rid of Daesh without eliminating AKP policies. Daesh suffers heavy military blows one after another in the hands of the Kurdish people's freedom forces, but it survives because of policies of the AKP government which blackmails the whole world in an unprecedented manner as a political power.

The AKP legitimizes and promotes Daesh

Erdoğan and the AKP always argue that "terror cannot have a religion or identity." Of course, it would be wrong to compare Daesh with Islam. Even, Daesh is the anti-Islam that defames the religion and is an enemy to it. This is true. Yet, there is another reality that Daesh emerged from inside the Islamic community and geography. This has social and historical factors as well, but it is politically important to see the factors that nurtured and strengthened Daesh. It is a wrong approach to treat the problem on the basis of historical and cultural factors alone. Such an approach would mean legitimizing Daesh's inhumanity which is an enemy to humankind. This is what is done by the pro-AKP media which not only legitimizes but also promotes Daesh.

Political support is the very first point that needs to be eliminated in order to force Daesh to draw back. Otherwise, social and cultural measures might be taken as a result. In this regard, it is totally necessary that Turkey ends its support for Daesh, which consequently requires taking a stance against the policies of the AKP. Unless Turkey takes an anti-Daesh stance, it will be impossible for the rest of the world to fight it.

In the fight against Daesh, it is of primary importance to fight on the ground. Viewed from that point, the anti-Daesh battle of YPG/YPJ and the SDF is a dignified one. If ISIS is to be defeated, it is these internationally popular forces that will do it. Otherwise, it will not be possible to accomplish a lasting result in an event where external military forces take over the battlefield.

Daesh is in a process of defeat

ISIS has entered a process of defeat, as long as no wrong policy is pursued in this regard. The SDF and YPG/YPG forces have the capability to defeat Daesh. They can push Daesh out of Jarablus within a short time, as well as in Raqqa unless Turkey continues to support the other side.

Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Armenians, youths, women, and other communities across Syria can easily clear their territory of Daesh and Al-Nusra. Once the obstacle of Turkey is eliminated, it will mean Daesh has come to an end. This reality needs to be known by the whole world. If international powers want to defeat Daesh, they should first stop Turkey from being an obstacle in this struggle.

Turkey wants the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP-Iraq) to confront the PKK

Turkey is constantly pursuing the defeat of forces fighting Daesh. It wants to make the KDP confront PKK now. This is why Feridun Sinirlioğlu (Turkish Foreign Minister) was quickly sent to Erbil soon after the November elections.

Turkey wants the KDP and PKK to engage in conflict with each other in Sinjar, intending to create such a conflict over Rojava as well. In this way, it is planning to weaken the forces fighting Daesh and thus strengthen its own position. In light of these facts, that HPG/YJA Star and YPG/YPJ are putting up the most effective fight against Daesh, and now Turkey wants to make KDP a wedge between these Kurdish forces.

The states subjecting Kurds to cultural genocide and exploitation have always created these types of conflicts and divisions among the Kurdish people. However, Kurds have become self-aware and have learned their history very well these days. This is why these traps of the Turkish state will be defeated this time."
