Mr. Adnan Oktar constantly states that the groups such as PYD, PJAK, YPG are the branches of the PKK. He also states that they adopt the very same ideology but function under different names. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Muslim, the brother of Salih Muslim who is the co-head of the PYD, stated that: “The PYD and the YPG are the branches of the PKK." September 22nd 2015, A9 TV (There is a press statement by John Kirby, the Spokesperson at the United States Department of State, Mr. Oktar. He stated that the United States does not consider the YPG as a terrorist group.) ADNAN OKTAR: ... The founders of the PYD and the PKK are one and the same. They have the same ideology, the same leader and everything else. The Turkish Courts have ruled that: "The YPG is a terrorist group." That is enough. July 28th 2015, A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Is not the YPG on the terror list? If not, it is terrible because they confess it themselves and say: "We are affiliated to the PKK." Moreover, there is a court ruling that the YPG is a terrorist group. International organizations have provided similar statements. They hang the pictures of Abdullah Ocalan anyway. They walk around with the flags of the PKK. They fusilladed Turkmens. They are still fusillading Arabs, compelling them to abandon their villages. PYD, YPG, YPJ, PJAK, are all the PKK itself. All of them are the PKK, changing names is truly a terrible strategy. October 27th 2014, A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: The PYD is a branch of the PKK. The mastermind behind the PYD is Abdullah Ocalan. None of them are reliable. They are not different from each other. All of them are together in this. You are clearly a terrorist group. You kill people day and night. October 26th 2014, A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: That entire region, all of it, follows the instruction of Abdullah Öcalan. They say there is a separate group of the PKK in Qandil and another group in somewhere else. There is no such thing. There is only one PKK: Both the PYD and the PJAK, all of them, only have different PKK names. They are not different at all. October 22th 2014, A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: The use of separate names for the PYD and the PKK is very inconvenient. The PYD, the PJAK, the PKK; all of them are the same, they are all the PKK. It does not make any sense to differentiate them. They have the same leader, the same party, the same administration, and the same method. All of them are the same. There is no difference, and the chain of command is one and only. How come you differentiate them? They say, “the PYD is different.” All of them are under the control of the illegal army of the PKK. October 20th 2014, A9 TV (In regard to the statement by the White House Spokesperson that the PYD is not a terrorist group) ADNAN OKTAR: They are a group killing people. One kills and other watches. They form a whole under a mafia structuring. Saying “they have not committed a crime yet” does not indicate the otherwise. Their leader is Abdullah Ocalan, whose picture they hang. They say that they are from the PKK, they are all the same. |
