British NCIS, and EU police have found out that drug trafficking in Europe
is being nurtured and directed by the “Turkish-Kurdish revolutionaries”
or separatists... there is an
undeniable exchange of interests between Öcalan and the Kurdish groups
that are reminiscent of the Mafia families in Sicily. The biological, political
and criminal ties between these groups and PKK are so close that it is
not possible to pull them apart... “According to the information gathered
by the bureaus of INTERPOL, 315 “Revolutionary Militants” or “separatists”
of Turkish citizenship were involved in drug trafficking in the period
of 1984-1993.
According
to the police reports, it has been discovered that out of the 298 people
constituting 94.6 per cent of those arrested (in Europe) on drug charges,
were PKK militants
and
the rest were linked with terror groups such as TKP—ML, DEV-SOL, THKP—C,
etc cooperating with PKK. PKK does not refraining from employing
terrifying tactics of violence (material damage, physical damage, threats
etc.) against the European media organs so as to prevent them from reporting
on the issue. |
