Hultqvist’s PKK sympathy throws Sweden into the fire
Following the murder of 13 Turkish citizens by the YPG/ PKK, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde expressed on her Twitter account: “I offer my deepest condolences to the families of Turkish citizens who lost their lives in the terrorist act in northern Iraq. We are in solidarity with the Turkish people.” In this context, what is Hultqvist saying to the Turkish people by promising to support these dark criminals who have dozens of pseudonyms?
Evidently and simply put, Hulqvist is staring right into our eyes and saying “as Sweden, we support your murderers.”
I expect the minister to say this is not his goal and that he has doubts about the YPG’s affiliations with the PKK, which is on the list of terrorist organizations of the United States and the European Union.
I can’t think of any other logical excuse. However, the YPG is documented by international agencies to be involved in various crimes such as the use of child fighters and human and drug trafficking. The YPG has proved that it is no different from the notorious Daesh, and it is indisputable that it is the PKK’s branch in Syria.
Beyond being an allegation, this relationship is also confirmed by the very organization and even declared as a show of power.
Figen Yüksekdağ, one of the administrators of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), the legal wing of the PKK, stated that “we are leaning our backs on the YPG-YPJ. We see no harm in saying this. We utter very clearly whom we are leaning on, and from now on we will continue to lean our backs here.”
Given this information, can the Swedish defense minister still reject this relationship?
A PIECE OF ADVICE
Meanwhile, seeing the minister’s keen interest in the PKK terrorist organization, I have a reading recommendation for him as a journalist who has been working on the issue for years.
Take a look at the confessions of Abdullah Öcalan, the natural leader and eternal commander of both the PKK and the YPG. It elucidates where the arms of this octopus can reach.
If he wishes, I can deliver it to him. I believe what Öcalan said about the role played by PKK hitmen in the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme will be enough to bring Mr. Hulqvist to his senses, who is apparently committed to the legitimacy of this hired gang. However, we are yet to hear if Hulqvist has some other motivation behind his resolve to set the long-standing healthy Turkey-Sweden relations on fire.
