Mr. Adnan Oktar has been saying for years on his program that the PKK uses fear in Southeastern Anatolia to gain a foothold and that our Kurdish brothers and sisters are not free, and that they cannot stand up to PKK due to their lives being in danger and that they are forced to help the PKK. President Erdogan also drew attention to the importance of this point and said, ‘Many people in Southeastern Anatolia say that they are being threatened by the PKK, which shows the PKK is not sincere in its peace rhetoric’. May 8, 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: The PKK gained a foothold in the region; it occupied the entire region. What does ‘occupation’ mean? They are threatening people, trying to control them. We cannot distribute books there because of them. We cannot hold meetings or talk about God there. No one can go there freely and safely. Even the MPs or Ministers can’t go there. They are being thrown stones at. It is like the entire region is under occupation by PKK. This occupation has to come to an end. The Turkish Army shouldn't be held back. Let them go to the PKK dens in Southeastern Anatolia and flush those germs out, all in accordance with the law and with intellect.
May 2, 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: We can distribute books and organize fossil exhibitions in Russia. It is possible even in North Korea, but not in Southeastern Anatolia. All the district officers, everyone there ,is under oppression. There is an extraordinary situation there. They are bullying district officers and whole municipalities. These thugs know nothing but bullying.
February 28, 2015: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: They keep saying the same thing: ‘[The PKK] will lay down its weapons, the days of peace are close, the sun will rise, birds will chirp and everything will be OK.’ But they keep kidnapping village guards, firing at our soldiers, raiding construction sites, burning places down with Molotov cocktails. It is not true that they will lay down their weapons.
A9 TV / June 15, 2012 ADNAN OKTAR: ... Why would a communist give up? Why would he lay down his weapons? But if it is necessary just to keep up the appearance, he will just put it to the side but he won’t give up on his goals. But if you convince him that his communist ideas are wrong through scientific and philosophical evidence, he will give up. The PKK is the name of the ferocious attack of the current anti-Christ. There is an anti-Christ attack on Turkey. And what you do is you go the anti-Christ and tell him ‘to lay down the weapons at the door and to make a deal’. The anti-Christ sheds blood, wants blood and is brutal. The anti-Christ will want you to convert to his religion and will want to rule everywhere. There can be no peace with the anti-Christ, no dropping of weapons.
September 20, 2010: Adıyaman Asu TV ADNAN OKTAR: … They are holding people captive; holding their ideas, their freedom captive. You put a gun to his face, of course he gives you all his money. And you say, ‘He gave it of his own volition. There is nothing wrong with that, this is none of your business.’ And he asks the person he threatened, ‘Didn't you do it voluntarily?’ How is he supposed to dispute that when you have a gun pointed at his head? He says, ‘Yes, of course, I gave it of my own free will.’ First put the gun away, right?
September 22, 2010: Samsun Aks TV ADNAN OKTAR:… No member of our nation wants separation. Our people, our brothers and sisters in Southeastern Anatolia seem to accept it, only because they are forced to. Normally, none of them would accept it. Children didn't go to school in certain areas. How could they? Think about it. PKK militants could set their houses ablaze, could assassinate them, fire at them, do anything. Our brothers and sisters in Southeastern Anatolia had enough of them. They loathe the PKK. |
