The recent murders of three Turkish soldiers by the PKK in the southeastern border province of Hakkari should be an eye opener for the Kurds of our country who wanted peace and reconciliation and saw its dividends in the last one-and-a-half years as the process progressed slowly but successfully.The Kurds of Turkey who want to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the citizens of this country should realize that there are elements in the PKK who want "action" and not any reconciliation or peace. Their form of action is to murder, spread enmity, cause disruptions in society and burn schools and machinery.They also feel that their lack of action is a sign of weakness and that they have to be tough and spread terrorism to be able to display their reason for existence. That is why the PKK will never be able to become a political entity in Turkey and enter Parliament.What is sad is that too many people in the PKK leadership in the Qandil Mountains in northern Iraq share these views and are highly skeptical of the peace and reconciliation process that is in progress in Turkey and either sabotage it or try to challenge it, even at the cost of undermining the prestige of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is serving a life sentence in the prison on İmralı Island. Öcalan seems to be going to pains to reverse the actions of these rough elements in the PKK and it is clear that the latest murders of Turkish soldiers in Hakkari is a serious incident in which the PKK has started to spill blood again. Each time PKK militants try to derail the peace process Öcalan steps in and saves the day. But how long can this last?On the one hand there is the Turkish public that wants the peace and reconciliation process to continue but is seriously skeptical because people feel the government is spoiling the PKK. There is a limit to how far this government can go and that limit is approaching fast. Öcalan and those who think like him should realize this and act accordingly.It is no use saying everyone has seen the immense dividends of the peace process and will do nothing to reverse it. There may be a point when one simply cannot tolerate the actions of PKK militants and that is when the process will collapse.The rough elements of the PKK should realize that the situation in which they promote violence, discord and division is not sustainable. If everything collapses they will be the one who will be buried under the mess, and what they are doing today only amounts to suicide. It is true that at the end of the peace and reconciliation process the PKK may well be finished. But this is for good, even for PKK supporters, because none of them can live with the terrible things that the terrorist organization has done in the past. Even PKK militants will need a fresh start.The murders they committed in Hakkari only prepare their own end. The Peoples' Democracy Party (HDP) statement that the murders committed by the PKK were a tit-for-tat situation is extremely wrong and dangerous. The HDP seems to suggest that soldiers killed three PKK militants recently and that this was a revenge killing. In fact, the PKK militants were killed when they attacked facilities and were killed in the ensuing fighting. They were fishing for trouble and the result was fatal. To try to justify the murders in Hakkari is an extremely wrong approach. The best HDP and Öcalan could do is to capture the murderers of the soldiers and bring them to justice either by handing them over to the authorities or dealing with them PKK-style.
