Comment:

On Monday the 28th of February, government officials and HDP delegation made a common press statement in Dolmabahçe Palace.  The statement declared an agreement on 10 articles, and that Ocalan called the PKK to join the congress in spring months and to lay down weapons. Thus the process, which is called the solution process, is not only binding for the government, but the state too. From that point of view, Ocalan's call for disarmament has been valued as a historical one.

US State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf said, "We would welcome all steps in support of a peaceful resolution in this conflict and commend the efforts of both the government and all parties concerned to work towards a lasting peace."

Sırrı Süreyya Önder who read Öcalan's message determining the basis, said: "While turning a 30 year fighting period into a lasting peace, our basic principal is to achieve a democratic solution. I invite the PKK to join the extraordinary meeting in the months of spring in order to fell strategical and historical decisions according to the principles of minimum consensus. This invitation is a historic declaration of intention to resolve the issue through democratic means instead of an armed struggle."

Deputy Prime Minister Yalçın Akdoğan who talked on behalf of the Government said, "We view this statement as important to accelerate the work on laying down weapons... and for democratic politics to come to the forefront will further develop democracy".

The above-mentioned statements should not be misunderstood. PKK is not laying down weapons here. PKK is only preparing to end armed struggle against Turkey. Because ending armed struggle is something different of laying down weapons. PKK who states to end armed struggle in Turkey, is regarded by the West as "the most reliable organisation" in Iraq and Syria. The West as well as other states in the region sees the PKK as a strong cart in ensuring the balances in the Middle East. The issue here is regarding its future role especially in Iraq and Syria. As a matter of fact no one is demanding the PKK to lay down weapons in Iraq and Syria, while the crusader coalition's "fight against terror" under the leadership of the USA is still going on. And Ankara is not making any statement on this issue in any way. It is implicitely supporting the PKK in Syria and Iraq. Likewise it displayed its side already when allowing the Peshmerga to enter Kobane. Furthermore, although there is no danger through ISIS anymore, it is generating a stock of weapons and munition by allowing the Peshmerga forces to cross the boarders to Kobane.

Without doubt, one of the most important reasons of the acceleration of the process in Turkey which is called the solution process, as well as it being on top of the agenda, is the fear of Islam in Syria. Almost all of those declared 10 articles aim at integrating the Kurdish people into democracy. Because the Islamic Ummah was divided into many small states after World War I. However the Kurdish people, due to its loyality to the Khilafah "Caliphate" state, was divided into four pieces in four countries. In a fear that the increasing screams for Khilafah "Caliphate" could snap off a big part of the Kurdish people; the Kurdish people in Turkey are sought to be integrated into the democratic system, while at the same time in particular in Iraq and Syria, the nationalist socialist Kurdish groups are being supported by the West and the surrounding states in the region. However, neither in Turkey nor in Iraq or in Syria; these despotic regimes with their corrupt basis and systems are not able to provide any value to the Muslims.

By the Will of Allah (swt); the Khilafah "Caliphate" State which is going to be established very soon will melt the whole Islamic Ummah without distinguishing Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic again in one pot as it did in the past.

((لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِن قَبْلُ وَمِن بَعْدُ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَاء وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ))

"To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice ın the victory of Allah * He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful." [Ar-Rum 4-5]
