After the local elections held on March 30, the outlawed PKK has reminded us all again of who they are.The low density harassment fires targeting military units in eastern and southeastern Turkey accompanying brigandage attempts and the abduction and armament of children.A group of women assembling in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır's city hall demanded the return of their kidnapped children from the PKK while Prime Minister Erdoğan also said the number of recently abducted children has reached 134.All these actions are attempts by the PKK to harm the resolution process of the Kurdish issue. As I expressed in a previous column, the state authorities have concerns over this matter, and officials are also worried about the possibility that some groups in Turkey or within the PKK will sabotage the whole process of reconciliation.Ankara is closely observing the latest developments in the region and the actions of the PKK. In this scope, a summit on security issues was held last week. During the summit, which was chaired by the Prime Minister Erdoğan, the increasingly disturbing actions of the PKK were tabled and possible solution plots were reviewed.At this point, security units have made a notable analysis. According to them, the resolution process created a disciplinary problem within the PKK. It is said that there is a sharp divergence about the resolution process in the PKK, and some actions such as harassment fire and brigandage attempts are conducted without the notice of its military headquarters in Qandil.The unease within the PKK is based on two reasons. The end of the conflicts, following the resolution process, has weakened the PKK's influence on the region. The different ideas that were repressed during the conflict period have risen to the surface with the opportunity provided by the resolution process.The mothers demanding their children back set a notable example for that.The second cause of unease is that the pro-Kurdish parties were not as successful as they expected in the local elections. In Diyarbakır, the city regarded as the center of Kurdish politics, pro-Kurdish candidates experienced a 12 percent decline when compared to the local elections held on 2009. As the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) and the Peoples' Democracy Party (HDP) could not gain a notable increase in votes in other cities, the arguments of the group suggest that the resolution process harmed the PKK.Ankara also put the pro-active steps on its agenda that could weaken the anti-resolution group. Previously, considerable steps were taken for the betterment of jail conditions in İmralı, where the PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan is imprisoned. Such steps might continue to be taken. Also, the matter of abolishing Turkey's abstention on the EU local governments' autonomy condition would be cancelled. These moves could impede the negative activities of those reacting against the resolution process.However, the government could take these steps only if the PKK displays its goodwill. The PKK could argue that harassment fires and brigandage attempts could not be controlled, and use it as an excuse. However, kidnapping children cannot have an excuse. Arming children under 18 is an unreasonable method that has been systematically implemented by Qandil for many years.The figures also illustrate the facts. A presentation made to the Parliament's Human Rights Commission in 2012 covers data on children within the PKK. According to the data, about 6,000 members of the PKK are in the mountains, with 43.68 percent of them children under 18. This shows that the number of armed children within the PKK is quite high.The PKK should answer the calls and demands of the mothers in Diyarbakır. Also, if the PKK takes any steps with regards to sending the children back, it would be a noteworthy development triggering the start of a disarmament process. The children have to leave the mountains for the resolution process to function healthily.
