Duran Kalkan, member of the Executive Council of the KCK, assessed recent developments in his interview with ANF. According to Kalkan there isn’t a blockage in the process but a game and deception. Kalkan stated that the AKP were benefiting from Öcalan’s Road Map and using it to try and annihilate the PKK. According to Kalkan distraction and stalling tactics are being employed as part of the plan. Kalkan: ‘‘Everyone has come to an agreement that this thing isn’t going to be solved with the AKP. Thus many different groups, groups who were supporting the AKP, are now calling on them to be consistent, to take concrete steps and to stand behind their words.’’

The arrival and magnificent reception of the peace groups has turned the plans of Turkish state upside down. Despite the reception with the Kurdish people showing their insistence on a democratic solution, KCK Executive Council Member Mustafa Karasu criticised the lack of understanding shown to this message and called attention to the provocative statements made by the government and other politicians. By taking the peace emissaries to their hearts the Kurdish people have bankrupted the state’s policy of solving this problem without interlocutors, said Karasu. Furthermore, it has bankrupted the AKP’s use of the expansion as election propaganda. The attacks on the DTP are aimed at creating psychological pressure, he said.
