TERRORIST PKK MEMBERS, ARMENIANS PREPARE TO PROTEST TURKISH PM in GERMANY

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdošan, who is scheduled to pay
a two-day visit to Germany on Tuesday, will be the subject of protest
at a rally organized by Kurdish associations supporting the terrorist
Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Alawite nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs) and members of the Armenian community.
According to the information obtained, at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday morning
the organizations will gather at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate
for the rally against Erdošan, which will be under the leadership of
the German Federation of Alevi Unions (AABF).
Approximately 40 NGOs, including the Federation of Kurdish Associations
in Germany, Association of Alevi Youth in Germany, Council of Armenians
in Germany and the Assyrian Federation, are expected to participate
to the rally.
The organizations have cited Turkey's Syria policy and the hunger
strikes of members of the terrorist PKK and Kurdistan Communities'
Union (KCK) as the reasons for the rally.
Nearly 700 inmates who have been convicted or are under arrest on
suspicion of membership of the PKK or its umbrella organization, the
KCK, have been on a hunger strike for more than a month, demanding
an end to the isolation of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan.
The organizations are expected to call for no war with Syria. A
statement released by the AABF accuses Erdošan of being against Kurds
and Alawites and of carrying out genocide and being a dictator in
the Middle East.
Erdošan is expected to discuss cooperation in efforts against
the terrorist PKK and the crisis in Syria when he meets German
Chancellor Angela Merkel. Erdošan has repeatedly complained that
European countries are not sufficiently supporting Turkey in its
fight against the PKK. In recent remarks, Erdošan has taken a step
further and singled out France and Germany as countries that do not
want Turkey to resolve its terror problem.
Turkey's expectations for steps to ease visa requirements for
Turks and German concerns about human rights violations in Turkey,
particularly in regard to the freedom of expression, are also expected
to be discussed during the talks.
During his visit to Germany, Erdošan will also attend the opening
of the new compound of the Turkish Embassy in Berlin, which will be
Turkey's largest diplomatic mission building abroad. The facility
was built on the site of the former Turkish embassy building, which
was damaged during World War II and closed down in 1945.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutošlu, who is accompanying Erdošan on his
visit, and his German counterpart, Guido Westerwelle, will also attend
the opening ceremony.
