Wide condemnation of the PKK's practices in Paris… Its aim is to harm the Kurdish cause

ARK News… Kurdish observers and activists "strongly" condemned the acts of sabotage carried out by supporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in France following the killing of 3 Kurdish immigrants by a French extremist, describing that the aim of what the party is doing is to offend the just cause of the Kurdish people.

In this regard, Kurdish activist Ali Zeno said: "The Turkish Workers' Party shows its bright reality through these intimidating acts that target public security and citizens' property."

He added, "What this party is doing is not strange to it, and for these behaviors, it is classified on the list of terrorism."

Zeno pointed out that "the PKK, behind its sabotage operations, aims to tarnish the reputation of the Kurdish people in the French street, and their just political and humanitarian cause."

He pointed out that "uploading pictures of the Turkish Workers' Party, which is classified on terrorist lists, is a message of abuse behind which intelligence agencies hostile to the Kurdish cause stand."

Zeno explained, "The relationship of the Kurds with the French is strong, and President Masoud Barzani worked on that, and now it is the turn of the Turkish workers to abuse it to serve the agendas of the usurping countries of Kurdistan."

While the Kurdish researcher, Abdul Rahman Kolo, said in a post on his Facebook page that "the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is playing with fire."

He added, "In France, the PKK is playing with fire in an attempt to exploit the terrorist operation in favor of the work of its organization and its activities in Europe."

He pointed out that "the results will be more dangerous for the Kurds than the operation itself."

Whereas, the Kurdish writer and poet Roni Ali said in a post on Facebook: “Pause. When wisdom recedes, blasphemy must prevail. What happened in Paris is a heinous crime by all standards, and what accompanied the demonstrations is a distortion of Kurdish’s image in front of public opinion and by all standards as well”.

In turn, the Kurdish political analyst, Manal Hasko, said in a post on "Facebook", that "intelligence hands are behind the Paris demonstration to raise pictures of Ocalan and discredit the Kurds."

He added, "Just as we condemn the criminal act in Paris, we strongly condemn the subversive actions of the Workers' Party."

Meanwhile, the Kurdish political activist Guhdarz Tamer said in a post: “What is happening in Paris is a real catastrophe. They turned the Kurdish from a victim into an executioner,” noting that “this is Paris, not Ankara.” He pointed out that “the vandalism and destruction of public and private property serve the Turks,” and the rest of the enemies of the Kurds and distort the image of the Kurdish to the French and Europeans in general.

He stressed that "raising PKK flags and launching slogans and calls in his name and in the name of Ocalan increases Europeans' hostility to the party and its supporters and bans its activities."

While the Kurdish politician Abdul Basset Hamo said in a post, "There are a conspiracy and external hands aimed at distorting the Kurdish issue in front of world public opinion. They seek to escalate disgraceful acts of sabotage and divert the protests from their legitimate, peaceful, democratic framework against the background of the cowardly racist act in Paris."

Hamo continued, "The Kurdish issue is a just democratic cause and the cause of an oppressed people, as it is far from terrorism and the acts of vandalism that we are seeing and seeing now in the media and satellite channels," stressing that "such acts of vandalism are a distortion of the image of the Kurds and serve the enemies of the Kurds."

On Friday, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmannan confirmed that the perpetrator of the Paris attack, which killed 3 members of the Kurdish community, was a single action."
