Preliminary results of the terrorist attack - which killed 6 people and injured 81 people, and took place on Istiklal Street in Turkey, which has gone a long way in combating terrorism in recent years - indicated that the PKK was the culprit;
Only 10 hours after the incident, the female perpetrator who appeared in the incident records was arrested, and about 50 people believed to have helped and abetted her to carry out the attack were arrested.
The PKK does not need a reason to take action against Turkey. The party has resorted to such means to make its voice heard from the beginning. Until 6 years ago, it was carrying out major bombings in cities and causing great damage and losses to Turkey, especially in cities and tourist centers.
by the first confessions of all those arrested;
Their links to the PKK are clear.
In fact, the accused, Elham al-Bashir, admitted that she was trained to be an agent by the PKK-Democratic Union Party, and that she had received instructions in Ayn al-Arab (Kobani);
Any of the place controlled by the Kurdistan Workers Party.
In fact;
The PKK does not need some reason to take action against Turkey. The party has resorted to such means to make its voice heard. Until 6 years ago - since its last operation - it was carrying out major bombings in cities and causing great damage and losses to Turkey, especially in cities. and tourist centres.
In the past six years, Turkey has made great achievements in the fight against terrorism as never before. The number of PKK fighters who numbered tens of thousands in the southeastern mountains has decreased to less than 150 militants due to the great efforts of intelligence supported by modern technologies in the border guards. And the army, in addition to these internal efforts;
The Turkish military operations targeted the organization inside Syria and prevented the provision of human or logistical support from abroad.
Hundreds of attacks were prevented due to the arrival of intelligence information about the organization's work - which it wants to implement in major cities from time to time - in a timely manner.
As a result of these effective efforts, the terrorist organization has not been able to carry out any operation for years, and has almost reached the end point in Turkey.
However, the feelings of hatred, anger, and the desire for revenge were increasing among the PKK because of the large losses that occurred to it after every failed operation it carried out, and therefore a retaliatory attack from the remaining militants was expected at any moment, and all intelligence services were taking action accordingly. .
There is no need to say that the PKK did not carry out this attack;
This November - which is the anniversary month of the party's founding - its leader, Duran Kalkan, announced in a video clip of him on the PKK channel shortly before the attack that demonstrations, celebrations and major actions will be organized to commemorate the founding of the party in this month.
Despite all this, the PKK did not claim responsibility for this attack, and said that it had nothing to do with it, and this was a separate propaganda campaign about the attack from the point of view of the PKK.
As we said, this action was carried out by the PKK, however, the chance that such an action would serve the PKK's political goals is very small, if we assume that the PKK is in fact an organization that acts strategically in order to achieve its own ideological goals. ;
As the killing of civilians and children means not only the hatred of the Turkish people, but also the hatred of the entire world;
Because even the loyal Kurds - who are their target audience - have a position on their harmful actions that harm people and the country.
The most important questions are: Why did the PKK carry out this attack?
And who did the PKK attack on his behalf?
Or who might have asked the PKK to carry out such an attack?
It is impossible for such an attack to generate sympathy for the PKK;
So it is also impossible for the HDP which provides political support to the PKK to benefit.
But when we look at the history of the PKK's actions so far, we will see that it rarely takes action in accordance with its strategic objectives, and that it often performs actions and attacks on behalf of other forces and in a manner consistent with the purposes of those forces.
It was known to Turkey that these attacks carried a message, especially if the elections came or before some decisive national decisions and policies, and that is why Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu said immediately after the attack: "We have received the message that was supposed to be given to us with this attack."
With this statement, the minister was saying that he had not seen the person who did the work.
Rather, the real power behind him, and that he received the message that he wanted to send.
He clearly blamed the US for its avowed support for the PYD.
Indeed;
America has shown that it is not afraid to publicly support Turkey’s enemies with excessive aid such as the weapons it provided to the Democratic Union Party, with which it is supposed to have allied itself in the war against the Islamic State, and it is impossible not to talk about the responsibility of the United States for such an attack that was carried out by an organization supported by the United States itself. .
Naturally;
The most important questions are: Why did the PKK carry out this attack?
And who did the PKK attack on his behalf?
Or who might have asked the PKK to carry out such an attack?
Turkey is currently preparing for elections, so there may be an expectation of such attacks in the hope that they will destabilize and cause serious public discontent with the government. Such attacks before elections are actually one of the routines of Turkish political history.
This time, things have reached the point of wanting to overthrow Erdogan - who has ruled Turkey for 20 years - because the stage in which Erdogan's Turkey is acting more independently than the United States and Europe want.
When Turkey enters in an attempt to become a gas storage center within the framework of relations with Russia;
It is understood that the United States faces gas projects.
In addition, we cannot ignore that serious irritation has accumulated in the Western bloc against the fact that Turkey is pursuing its own independent policies in relations with Azerbaijan, Libya, the eastern Mediterranean, Russia and Greece;
Because of this, Turkey in this way is out of the control of that bloc, and the strong desire to take measures against Turkey seems to be gradually rising in the West, so the easiest and most risk-free measure is to make Erdogan lose the elections.
The fact that the perpetrators used in the incident were Syrians may also increase the unrest that has existed in society for some time against Erdogan's policies regarding Syrian refugees that are constantly being used and fueled by opposition parties.
And from the overall form of this attack, no one can say that such a result was not targeted. It is no coincidence that the PKK chose a Syrian Arab woman to carry out such an act in private instead of the Kurdish militants. Therefore, the profile of the attacker aims to create Such discontent among the Turkish people.
However, regardless of reaching the goals;
Turkey is more inclined to shred messages delivered through such attacks without even reading them.
