"WE WERE SEPARATED BY TERRORISM"
The US State Department has published a journal titled "Living
Memories" in order to draw attention to "the importance
of cooperation in the fight with global terrorism" and to
reflect the sufferings caused by "terrorism" worldwide.
26 acts of terrorism that occurred in different countries all
around the world are mentioned in the journal and cruel acts of
the PKK (with its new name KADEK) that is included in the list of
terrorist organizations of the USA and the EU take place in the
first page of it.
The section with the headline "Speech for Deads - Tears of
Yildiz Namdar" in the first page of the journal describes
how the PKK terrorists killed Murat Namdar, the husband of nurse
Yildiz, during their travel in 1995.
Nurse Yildiz, a victim of PKK terror, tells the bloody moments
she lived as below;
"We were going to visit the mother of my army officer
husband on our holiday. Having passed Erzincan, we were stopped
and asked to show our IDs. The people who stopped us were wearing
military uniforms and seeming strange. I had a suspicion. I told
Murat that they were terrorists. He was very calm. After we moved
ahead a little bit, the highway was blocked and all vehicles on
the road were stopped.
My children and father were crying. They took out Murat. I
begged, but they did not listen to us. These brutes knew nothing
other than killing. We were in love with each other... Where are
the human rights?.. Where is humanity?..
My husband was 25 when he was murdered. I was left all alone with
my 11 months old son in this world.
If all countries fight with terrorism, a result can be achieved.
A terrorist is everyone's terrorist; he is a terrorist of
humanity. If only I could come together with all victims of
terrorism around the world, embrace them and share their pain."
Tens of thousands of innocent people were killed and thousands of
them were crippled by the acts of terrorist organization PKK (new
name KADEK). The PKK (KADEK) that has been included in the list
of terrorist organizations by the USA and the EU, is still
continuing to carry out acts of violence. Armed terrorists in the
organization's camps in northern Iraq still pose threat not only
towards the neighboring countries but also for the public order
of the European countries.
In the name of millions of mothers being terror victims and
suffering great pain like nurse Yildiz, we want "international
cooperation" in the fight with global terrorism and demand
that KADEK, which clearly displays itself as the extension of the
PKK, be included in the EU's list of terrorist organizations.
