Minister Yucelen threatened, saying "this is absolutely forbidden in our country." ANKARA The "Declaration of Identity" campaign started by Kurds in Europe was brought to the agenda by an state official for the first time. Minister of Internal Affairs Kazim Yucelen held a press conference, giving information on 70 days of his office and replied the questions of journalists. The Minister gave one-sided information on the operations against PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), claiming that 1,100 guerrilla was captured who he claimed to be a member of PKK. Yucelen touched on the subject of 20 PKK guerrilla who were killed by chemical weapons, adding "9 terrorist were captured, 3 dead 6 wounded." Suggesting that PKK President Abdullah Ocalan's case in European Human Rights Court is tried to change into an "ethnic case", Yucelen made explanations on the declaration of identity. Trying to regard the declaration of identity campaign participated by ten thousands of people as inferior by saying "some members of the clandestine organization in Germany, Italy, France, England, Netherlands, Switzerland etc apply to the legal bodies and declare their identity", Yucelen continued to say the following: "They apply in appearence of struggle for national freedom. We follow them." The Minister made a threat by saying that if such an application was made, they would be considered a member of PKK, continuing as follows: "I want to remind you especially in these days some associations apply for permission for legal activities, that such an action is absolutely banned in our country. If a person applies and declare he is a member of a terrorist organization, he will immediately be arrested and prosecuted." Yucelen said that permissions for the activities on September 1, The World Peace Day are under the authority of governors. The word in fashion: Isolated Minister Rustu Kazim Yucelen regarded the incident relating a gendermarie killing a young man in Akkise, Konya as an "isolated case". Replying the questions of journalist, Yucelen claimed that the Akkise incident can not be approved and those responsible should be penalized, adding "It is an isolated case. It might be arised from an inability in command." "A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past." Fidel Castro "The Marxist-Leninist doctrine on class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat affirms the role of violence in revolution, makes a distinction between unjust, counter-revolutionary violence and just, revolutionary violence, between the violence of the exploiting classes, and that of the masses."
