The Central Executive Committee of the Workers' Party published a statement

All terror organizations in Syria, including the PKK, shall be cleared up and the cooperation with the countries of the region must be activated!

The Central Executive Committee of the Workers' Party (Turkey) published a notice to the public on the latest developments in the region. The notice is below:

1- The multi-dimensional operation of Turkish Armed Force against the separatist terror organization PKK should lead to permanent results. The measures in our Syrian border are appropriate in that context and they should be developed further within the frame of the independence and security of Turkey. The removal of the threat that is caused by the PYD, the Syrian arm of the PKK, in Ayn Al Arab (Kobani) is crucial for both the integrity of Turkey and also of Syria. It is the duty of the day to inactivate firstly the PKK and all other terror organizations like ISIS that acts like the army of the Islam, despite its irrelevance.

2- For the removal of the separatist terror, it is obligatory to cooperate with the Syrian Government led by Mr. Bashar Al Assad, and the conditions for such a cooperation are convenient. As a first step, the relations with the Syrian government should be normalized.

3- For peace and stability in our region, the cooperation with Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt and Azerbaijan in all fields including security and economic is a necessary first step. The territorial integrity and national unity of Syria equals to the integrity and unity of Turkey.

4- In the resolution that was presented by the governing JDP government to the Turkish Parliament, those expressions targeting the Syrian State and government are products of global dependencies. They do not take into consideration concerns about the unity and integrity of Turkey. These expressions permitting the existence of the foreign troops in our land are against our independence. Foreign troops cannot be permitted on Turkish soil.

5- The security of our people in all our country is commended to the Turkish Armed Forces. Our Army has the necessary competence to achieve its duty. Our people, especially in south-eastern parts of Turkey understood that the security of their lives and properties can only be achieved by Turkish Army. It is our responsibility to improve the courage and sense of mission of all the soldiers and officers fighting against terror. To reinforce the links between our people and the army, the Party will achieve its responsibility.
