I-Turkey ibambe iingxoxo kunye nenkokeli yabavukeli baseKurdish evalelwe entolongweni ukuba icinezele iqela elifuna ukuzimela ukuba lilahle izixhobo kwaye liphelise ungquzulwano oluthathe amashumi eminyaka, igosa eliphezulu licatshulwe lisitsho ngeCawa.
Umcebisi oyintloko kaNdunankulu u-Recep Tayyip Erdogan, u-Yalcin Akdogan, wagxininisa kudliwano-ndlebe kunye nephephandaba laseTaraf ukuba iingxoxo zijolise ekuqinisekiseni i-Kurdistan Workers 'Party, okanye i-PKK, ukuba ibeke iingalo zayo ngokufanelekileyo. Wathi iTurkey ayifuni naluphi na uhlobo lwexeshana lexeshana, elifana nelo libhengezwe yi-PKK kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye abagxeki bathi bavumela iqela ukuba libuyele ngaphambi kokuba liqalise ukuhlaselwa kwiithagethi zomkhosi waseTurkey.
“Eyona njongo yeentlanganiso ayikokuyeka ukudubula okwexeshana kodwa kukunyanzela umbutho ukuba ubeke phantsi izixhobo zawo,” uTaraf ucaphule u-Akdogan esithi.
Izimvo zika-Akdogan zeza emva kweentsuku emva kokuba u-Erdogan ekwathe i-arhente yezobuntlola yaseTurkey iphinde yaqala iingxoxo kunye nenkokeli yabavukeli u-Abdullah Ocalan, osebenza ubomi bonke kwisiqithi sase-Istanbul. “Lo gama sibona isibane siza kuqhubeka sithethe. Ukuba akukho kukhanya, siza kumisa apho, ”utshilo u-Erdogan, ngaphandle kokunika iinkcukacha kwiingxoxo.
I-Turkey-eye yaqhekeka phakathi komnqweno wokuxolelana kunye namaKurds kunye nenjongo yayo ecacileyo yokulwa neqela elithatha njengabanqolobi - liye lavuma ukubamba iingxoxo eziyimfihlo kunye no-Ocalan kunye namanye amalungu e-PKK kwiminyaka yamuva. Amagosa athi ezo ngxoxo aziphumelelanga.
Ungquzulwano luthathe amashumi amawaka obomi ukusukela oko abavukeli-abafuna ukuzilawula kumaKurds akumzantsi-mpuma weTurkey - bathatha izixhobo ngo-1984. Iqaqobana lamaKurd liquka ngaphezu kwama-20 ekhulwini abantu baseTurkey abazizigidi ezingama-75.
Ukuqaliswa kwakhona kweengxoxo kunye no-Ocalan kuza phakathi kobundlobongela kulo nyaka obulele amakhulu abavukeli be-PKK, amalungu omkhosi wokhuseleko waseTurkey kunye nabemi.
U-Ocalan, owayevalelwe ukususela ngo-1999, kukholelwa ukuba usabambe iintambo kwi-PKK. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, ngesicelo sika-Ocalan, amakhulu amabanjwa aseKurdish aphelisa uqhankqalazo lokulamba ababeluqalile ukufuna amalungelo angakumbi kumaKurds kunye nokuphucula iimeko zentolongo.
Urhulumente ka-Erdogan unike amalungelo angazange abonwe kumaKurds okoko wangena kulawulo ngo-2002, kubandakanya nokuvula isikhululo sikamabonwakude esithetha isiKurdish kunye nokuvumela izifundo zolwimi lwesiKurdish ezikolweni. Kodwa amathemba esisombululo abonakala ekude ngenxa yenkcaso yoluntu lwaseTurkey ekunikezeni imvume enkulu, kubandakanya ukuzimela kwezopolitiko, kumaKurds.
Ukunyuka kwamva nje kobundlobongela kulandela ukubanjwa kwamawaka ama-activist aseKurdish, kuquka oosodolophu abakhethiweyo kunye neentatheli, abatyholwa ngobulungu kwintlangano ye-ambrella abatshutshisi bathi idibene ne-PKK. Uninzi lwamaKurds lucatshukiswa kukuba akukho mntu ubanjelwe uhlaselo lomkhosi kulo nyaka uphelileyo owabulala abantu abangama-34 baseKurdish, uninzi lwabo lulutsha, ababephazamile njengabalweli bePKK.
