"As they deal with the same subject, Questions Nos 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 will be taken together.
By including the PKK in the 'anti-terrorist list', the Council has in effect fallen into line behind the Turkish policy of denying the rights of the Kurdish people. What immediate steps does the Council intend to take to ensure that Turkey shows due respect for the fundamental rights of the Kurdish people in accordance with the large number of international instruments dealing with human rights and the rights of peoples? Would it not agree that it should support the holding of an international conference on the Kurdish question?
Question No 18 by Luisa Morgantini ():
What is the Council's political assessment concerning the creation of the KADEK party, which has risen from the ashes of the PKK? Does the Council intend to include KADEK on the 'anti-terrorist list', even though this would place the Council on the side of Turkey in its repressive treatment of the Kurdish people?
Question No 19 by Feleknas Uca ():
Since 2 May 2002, the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) has been regarded throughout the European Union as a terrorist organisation. However, by its own admission, the PKK abandoned its armed struggle against the Turkish army when it declared a cease-fire in 1999.
In April 2002, the PKK was dissolved. In that same month, the Congress for Freedom and Democracy in Kurdistan (KADEK) was founded. By its own admission, KADEK is seeking a solution to the Kurdish question through peaceful, democratic and political means.
What is the Council’s assessment of the fledgling Kurdish organisation KADEK?
In the future, will KADEK also be included in the list of terrorist organisations?
Question No 15 by Luigi Vinci ():
What impact does the list have on civilian organisations in Turkey and in Europe in the light of the announcement that human rights organisations are also to be included in the list of terrorist organisations?
Question No 20 by Matti Wuori ():
Following the recent extension of the EU list of terrorist organisations to include the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), there is a growing fear that the Turkish state's policy of oppression against the Kurdish people will be reinforced.
How will this decision, in the Council's view, affect a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish question?
Whom does the Council consider to be its interlocutor in the peace process on the Kurdish side, now that the PKK has been included on the list of terrorist organisations?
Question No 21 by Eurig Wyn ():
The inclusion of the now dissolved PKK on the official list of terrorist organisations is not helping the peace process in Turkey and serves only to increase the oppression of the Kurdish population by the Turkish authorities.
Could the Council clarify on what criteria they based the decision to include the PKK on the list of 2 May 2002, bearing in mind that this organisation dissolved itself in April 2002?
Question No 22 by Nelly Maes ():
After the PKK has been placed on the list of terrorist organisations, the Kurds are very anxious because the Turkish authorities see it as an opportunity to increase the oppression against the Kurds.
Can the Council explain who they see as their partner of dialogue in the peace process on the Kurdish side since the PKK has been put on the list of terrorist organisations?
Question No 23 by Alain Lipietz ():
After the PKK has been placed on the list of terrorist organisations, the Kurds are very anxious because the Turkish authorities see it as an opportunity to increase the oppression against the Kurds.
Is the Council aware of the legitimacy it gave to Turkish repression after the decision of 3 May to put the PKK on the terrorist list?
Question No 24 by Koldo Gorostiaga Atxalandabaso ():
Would the Council not agree that, by including the PKK in the 'anti-terrorist list' on 2 May 2002, it became a party to the Turkish policy of military and police repression against the whole of the Kurdish people? What steps does the Council intend to take to get the peace process in Turkey back on the rails and, in particular, who will be involved in the discussions?
What is the Council's position on the Kurdish question after the PKK's inclusion on the list of terrorist organisations?
How can we imagine a political dialogue in Turkey if the EU is backing the exclusion of imperative partners?
Question No 16 by Giuseppe Di Lello Finuoli ():
Having included the PKK in the list of terrorist organisations provided for in Regulation (EC) 2580/2001, how does the Council intend to exert pressure on Turkey with a view to ensuring that respect is shown for the fundamental rights of the Kurdish people? Or is it its intention to promote and sponsor the Turkish policy of exterminating the Kurdish people?
Question No 17 by Fausto Bertinotti ():"@en1
