Germany hosts 13,000 PKK members

A comprehensive intelligence report submitted by Turkish authority to German Interior Ministry Delegation who visited Ankara last week, stated that about 15,000 militants, including 13,000 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Worker's Party, or PKK, terror organization, are conducting their activities across Germany.

About 1,950 members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front, or DHKP-C and other Left-wing terror organizations have continued their activities under some legal-looking NGOs, the report said.

The terror groups have been using these NGOs for their money transactions as they collected aid money from their supporters in Germany and send it to the militant groups in Turkey.

The report mainly focused on the people who were found guilty by Turkey's judiciary and escaped to Germany including ex-prosecutors Zekeriya Öz and Celal Kara.

Recently, the Turkish Justice Ministry sent a search and arrest warrant to Interpol for the ex-prosecutors who were accused of orchestrating the Dec. 17 and Dec. 25 operations in an apparent attempt to oust the elected government. They were also charged with forming and helping an illegal terror organization and preventing the government from partially or completely performing its duties.

Not only the two ex-prosecutors, but the members of different terrorist organizations operating against the Turkish State have been using Germany as a safe heaven, the report claimed.

The report provided a wide-information about the activities of terror organizations in Germany. It said that Ecevit Şanlı, a suicide bomber of the DHKP-C terrorist group, who attacked the US Embassy in Ankara in 2013, has lead the groups Köln branch till 2012. “Sixty such members of a suicide attack squad of DHKP-C are living in Europe," the report said.

Terror groups, especially extreme-leftists organizations like PKK and DHKP-C, have been using Germany for collecting financial and logistic supports, hiding and living.

A German intelligence report also revealed that these organizations have thousands of members who conducted their illegal economic and political lobbying under the legal appearances.

According to a report from the Federal office for the Protection of the Constitution, an internal intelligence unit of the Federal Republic of Germany, 650 members from the DHKP-C, 800 members of TKP and 500 members from TKP/ML were registered to the NGOs and actively carrying out their propaganda activities.

Turkey's Ministry of Justice sends legal documents for retrieval of criminals, but Germany is acting reluctantly regarding the issue; moreover, it accepted most of them as being under political asylum.

Moreover, Turkey issued red notice for 324 members of another leftist terrorist organization, the Revolutionary Headquarter, or DK, who were living in Germany.

Germany also arrested 162 members of theTurkey Revolutionary Communist League, or TİKB, another terrorist group in Turkey, but denied their return.

The two so-called aid organizations named, Kurdistan Red Crescent, or Heyva Sor a Kurdistan, and The Sun of Mesopotamia, or Die Sone Mesopotamiens, supply money to the members of the terrorist groups in Turkey. The organizations were listed in Turkey for their drug trafficking and 4 members were arrested.
