POLITICS > Kurdish bid at new level as ‘wise’ mission over
ISTANBUL
Vercihan Ziflioğlu contributed to this report from Istanbul.
The group of Wise Persons, which was gathered by the government as part of the recent bid to find a solution to the Kurdish issue, submitted their final reports to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Istanbul on June 26.
The 63 members were divided into seven separate regions of the country, and had traveled 122,000 kilometers across the country to listen and talk about the peace process over the course of about three months.
In total, they visited all of Turkey’s 81 provinces, including 37 towns and 22 villages, where they officially met with more than 60,000 people.
The meeting came at a time when the agenda of the process is turning its focus to the second phase, which basically refers to the steps that now have to be taken by the government.
Ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) spokesperson Hüseyin Çelik said at a press conference on the sidelines of the Wise Persons meeting that the reports, which included both the observations of the groups and the “concerns, fears, dreams and hopes” of people across the country.
The Wise Persons’ efforts have eased the concerns of many people however some with ideological concerns and opponents of the AKP remained critical, Çelik said, adding that the seven reports would be consolidated before being published.
Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, who has taken active role in the talks to solve the issue, said the second phase in the process had begun. The government is soon expected to reveal a roadmap for this second phase, Demirtaş said. “I hope this roadmap will lead to permanent democracy,” he said, speaking at a Diyarbakır meeting yesterday.
The first phase of the process was briefed as being the withdrawal of outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants to northern Iraq from Turkey. Criticizing the tone of recent statements made by government officials, Demirtaş said the process had been “infected” over the last two weeks. He said the government’s hard stance against the Gezi Park protests had spread across the country.
“However, this does not mean that the process is over or blocked,” he said.
“In the second phase, the channels for democratic politics will be opened. It is not a phase that will solve problems 100 percent,” Demirtaş added.
The BDP co-chair’s remarks echoed a statement from jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan a day earlier, who also said the process had now arrived at its second phase.
Four members absent
Deputy prime ministers Beşir Atalay and Bekir Bozdağ, a number of Cabinet ministers, and other high ranking officials, also accompanied Erdoğan at the Wise Persons meeting.
Four members of the group were missing after two academics, Murat Belge and Baskın Oran, resigned a day earlier, and two others declared excuses.
Speaking to journalists ahead of the meeting, Ahmet Taşgetiren, the head of the Central Anatolia regional group of the Wise Persons, said the “wider picture” after the two-month long efforts of the group showed the peace process received “full support.”
Taşgetiren also said before the meeting that the groups were scheduled to share photographs and videos with the prime minister.
The talks between the government and Öcalan earlier this year received a boost when the latter declared a ceasefire and called on militants to withdraw from Turkey on March 21. The withdrawal officially began in early May.

Turkish folk singer Livaneli not surprised by ‘dark forces’ against intellectuals
ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News
Vercihan Ziflioğlu vercihan.ziflioglu@hurriyet.com.tr
Zülfü Livaneli, famous Turkish folk singer, author and former politician, who was the victim of an assault attempt for unknown reasons before and after a concert last week, feels isolated but not surprised. However, his reaction is not limited to the incident, but the recent street violence in the country and the state’s decades-long attitudes.
“We are used to being treated as foster children,” he told the Hürriyet Daily News in an e-mail interview yesterday. “Anything can happen in this country ... We are reaching large crowds with books, music and thoughts, but some dark forces are enemy to the intellectuals of this country."
Livaneli was the victim of an assault attempt by a group, including municipal workers, on June 20 while he was in the southern province of Mersin for a gig. The incident broke out because a dance group was using the backstage room spared for Livaneli, according to reports.
Livaneli is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and is also popular in neighboring Greece, particularly due to his joint works with Mikis Theodorakis.
Commenting on the recent anti-government protests and police interventions, Livaneli said “A growing economy unfortunately does not solve problems in democracy and human rights.”
Livaneli said he had witnessed the killing of more than 50 friends over the years, and some others were tortured. “There were times that we were put in military jails. Unfortunately this Turkey is like a mythological monster that eats its own kids.”
“In countries such as ours the Constitution is not working. A dictatorial approach overwhelms pluralism. This is the basic problem for many countries considered as democracies. But can you call a regime that is not inspected by law and legislation a democracy?”
The government is relying on conspiracy theories while moving against the protests that started with a small group of demonstrators who were opposing the demolition of Taksim Gezi Park in central Istanbul.
“Believing in a theory that says that ‘everyone is setting a conspiracy against us’ is easier than understanding the essence of the opposition. That also makes it easier for them to consolidate their own masses,” he said.
“Young generations are fed up of hearing insults, intervention in their lifestyles and the prime minister’s acting like the ‘father of the nation’ and suddenly they found themselves in Taksim square crying out for freedom. Seeking conspiracy behind this is nonsense.”

RIGHTS > Turkey's Alevi community doubtful of government initiatives
ISTANBUL/Vercihan Ziflioğlu contributed to this report from Istanbul.
The government is working on a new plan to broaden the rights of Alevis, members of the second-largest Islamic sect in the country, but these fresh attempts have received a suspicious reaction from the community.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has asked for a study and report on the issue, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ revealed in a televised interview over the weekend, adding that a broad range of negotiations would follow after the new steps.
Bozdağ’s remarks came days before the anniversary of the July 1-2 killings of 35 people in an arson attack in 1993 led by a mob at a hotel where many Alevi intellectuals and artists who had come to Sivas for a conference were staying. On June 23, thousands gathered in Istanbul’s Anatolian district of Kadıköy to mark the day.
Bozdağ commented on the status of cemevis, Alevi houses of worship. “Our brothers from the Alevi and Bektaşi traditions have already granted a status to cemevis,” he said, adding that the government would not take steps to change this status but only ensure its existence.
However, responding to a question on whether cemevis were a place of worship, Bozdağ said the sole common place of worship for Muslims has always been mosques, and Muslims could worship all across the earth.
The government’s official stance is still that cemevis are "cultural centers," but not places of worship.
The ruling party has taken serious steps for Alevis, including sending Alevi leaders to meet the religious needs of Turks living abroad, adding information about the sect to schoolbooks with quotes from leaders of the community, and an apology by the prime minister for a massacre in 1938 in Tunceli, where the majority of the population is Alevi.
Responding to Hürriyet Daily News questions on the issue during a phone interview yesterday, Metin Tarhan, a lawyer for the Alevi Associations’ Federation, said the community's trust in the government was poor.
“Our first demand was to accept the legal status of cemevis as places of worship, and this was rejected. Now the government’s sincerity is being questioned,” he said.
The prime minister’s recent wording when describing the bomb attack in the southern city of Reyhanlı on May 11 also disturbed the community. “Fifty-three of our Sunni citizens were killed,” Erdoğan had said.
The prime minister of a country should never discriminate between its people, not only between sects, Tarhan said.
Alevis have also expressed unease over the naming of the to-be-built third bridge over Istanbul’s Bosphorus, which has been named after Ottoman Sultan "Yavuz Sultan Selim," who was known for massive killings of Alevis.
The government's latest gestures to Alevis come months before the March 2014 local elections.

Slain German publisher’s wife denied Turkish citizenship
ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News
Vercihan Ziflioğlu vercihan.ziflioglu@hurriyet.com.tr
Suzanne Geske, the widow of Tillmann Geske, who was killed in the 2007 Malatya Zirve Publishing House massacre, has been denied Turkish citizenship.
Living with her children in the eastern province of Malatya, where the massacre took place, Geske is determined to continue her struggle for citizenship. Geske told the Hürriyet Daily News that they faced some difficulties due to the alleged reports issued by the Turkish National Strategies and Operations Department (TÜSHAD).
“We saw in the ongoing Zirve Publishing House massacre case that TÜSHAD forged false reports about us. They submitted the reports to the prosecutor. The reports were also sent to the National Intelligence Agency (MIT). My attorney went to the Interior Ministry for the procedures about my citizenship but they told him that a citizenship could not be granted to me due to these reports,” Geske said.
Unjust smears
When asked whether she was considering leaving Turkey if she could not obtain citizenship, Geske said “I don’t have a plan yet. I only believe in God. If God wills, I will take the citizenship one day.”
Geske also said all the smear campaigns made against her, her family and friends were unjust.
Three missionaries, including Tillman Geske and two Turks, Necati Aydın and Uğur Yüksel, were tied up and tortured before their throats were slit at the Zirve Publishing House, a Christian publisher in Malatya, on April 18, 2007. Before the incident, Father Andrea Santoro and Armenian journalist Hrant Dink were murdered.

RIGHTS > Progressive Lawyers Association warns against unlawful detainments in Gezi Park operations
ISTANBUL- Hürriyet Daily News
Vercihan Ziflioğlu vercihan.ziflioglu@hurriyet.com.tr
Istanbul Progressive Lawyers Association (ÇHD) secretary general Güray Dağ said there had been complete chaos regarding the detainments that were part of the Gezi Park operations.
Dağ said there was no accurate data on the number of people detained or their identities. “Some of them are being kept in police cars, while some were battered by police and then thrown into the park,” Dağ said.
Dağ also said they had issued a call to families who lost their relatives during the incidents. “Some families have contacted us. Also, we are trying to make contacts with the injured at hospitals. But they don’t file complaints since they are afraid of being identified and detained,” Dağ said.
Dağ noted previous incidents in which many people had gone missing while detained. “We hope new unsolved cases will not be experienced in the near future. The situation is ominous.”
Antiterrorism Law and confidential files
Dağ said they tried to follow the detainments as far as possible, adding that detained people could be charged under the Antiterrorism Law since there was a decision of confidentiality on the files, which could make the case more difficult. According to Dağ’s estimations, a series of operations might be launched in the near future.
Dağ also noted that lawyers who demonstrated in solidarity with the Gezi Park protesters were detained last week in Çağlayan Courthouse, adding that attorneys had also been targeted. Dağ said they had recently begun to face many controversies with the prosecutors at courthouses. “Recently, a prosecutor threatened us, claiming that we were supporting the Gezi Park demonstrations. They look at lawyers and detained people in the same way.”

Family hopes comatose Palestinian-Turkish protester will survive
ISTANBUL- Hürriyet Daily News
Vercihan Ziflioğlu vercihan.ziflioglu@hurriyet.com.tr
After 18 days in an intensive care unit and two brain surgeries, Lobna Allami’s family strongly believe that the 34-year-old will survive her injuries sustained during the Gezi Park protests.
An unconscious Lobna Allami, who was hit in the head by a tear gas capsule during the police intervention on May 31, was one of the lasting images from the early days of the Gezi Park protests. Her sister, Fatin Allami, now says doctors have warned that Lobna, a Turkish citizen of Palestinian origin, could be left with permanent damage to her brain and risks being paralyzed for the rest of her life.
“I, with all my heart, believe that she will come through,” Fatin said. Lobna was among the sit-in protesters who gathered in Taksim Square on May 31 before being dispersed by the police crackdown. That was the day when protests against a renovation plan related to Gezi Park turned into large-scale anti-government protests across Turkey.
“She was there to use her constitutional rights, she did nothing illegal,” Fatin said of her sister. “It’s hard to understand all that.”
She added that her sister “always took a stance against injustice.” When asked whether the family would start a legal battle against the police, Fatni Allami responded: “The priority is Lobna’s health at the moment.”
