Kurdistan Communities' Union

It is as if the Kandil Mountains, the logistical and administrative base of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), was not deadly afraid of unarmed politics gaining power? 

As if the PKK did not regard the results of the June 7 election as a threat to its existence? 

A total of 22 people were detained in Nov. 4 in operations targeting the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party's (PKK) youth and urban wings in Istanbul and Adana, respectively. 

In a historic joint press conference with the government, the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has announced a call by the jailed leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) for the outlawed group to hold a congress in spring to discuss disarmament in Turkey, despite a growing row over the government-led homeland security bill.

The government's insistence on a controversial security bill will put the Kurdish peace process in danger, the Kurdistan Communities' Union (KCK) said in a statement on Feb. 15, describing its content as an indication of authoritarianism that does not comply with the objective of democratizing Turkey.
