Interview covering the characteristics of the Turkish state`s genocidal policy, the global history of genocides and ways for the peoples of the world to defend themselves against the systematic annihilation of their cultures and languages.
In the interview, Elif Ronahi, explains why the KCK calls Turkey`s
policy against the Kurdish people a genocide and how this policy is part
of a global systematic destruction of languages and cultures: “Why
should we not live a common life with all the different peoples in the
four parts of Kurdistan on the basis of the Democratic Nation? Surely
all of them can preserve their own existence, identity, freedom, culture
and language and at the same time meet on the basis of a common
denominator. The Kurds want to live together with all other peoples
within the framework of a democratic-confederal system in the countries
they live in. But why does this encounter rejection? Because Kurdistan
has very rich natural resources and the region is geostrategically very
important, recognizing the Kurdish existence would mean for the
hegemonic and regional powers to lose access to all that. Therefore, the
hegemonic powers want to continue the genocide against the Kurdish
people. And the directly involved countries in the region are also
interested in the annihilation of the Kurdish people for this reason.”
