Who is Numan and Faysal? Relations between Kurds and Armenians

Code name: Mahir Welat (Numan Ucar b. Sanliurfa, Turkey) was the official representative of the National Liberation Front of Kurdistan (ERNK) and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to Moscow and the former Soviet Union. He was also a member of the ruling Central Committee of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and maintained relations with Armenia.

Although relatively small in size, the Yezidi (Kurd) community of Armenia still has strategic significance for the PKK. An upsurge of Kurdish nationalism in Armenia would inevitably affect an estimated 200,000 Muslim Kurds who have assimilated into Azerbaijani society. Kurds from Armenia and from the diasphora provided limited military support against Azerbaijan and Azeri forces for the occupation of Karabag.

Ucar welcomed Ocalan to Russia after he was denied entry to Greece in 1998. Ocalan was hopeful that his organization will stay in Russia and will be supported politically. Numan Ucar however made a phone call on November 9th informing Ocalan to leave Russia by the 12th.

Numan Ucar dissapeared after Ocalan arrest. Possibly still hiding in Russia. Accused of stealing the organization's funds when he disappeared with 2.5 million German marks which had been entrusted to him to start a Kurdish TV and radio station. He was then accused of being a Russian agent by the Kurdistan Democratic Refugee's Society. Another unwanted figure by PKK cadres from those days was Kani Yimaz (b. Sanliurfa, Turkey)[2].

Members of Kurdish speaking assimilated Armenian tribes of Cudi region in Turkey and other Armenians from Syria are also in the leadership cadres of PKK/KADEK.

SORU: Emir ve talimatınızla hareket eden kırsal alandaki örgüt mensuplarının kullandığı normal silahlar ve helikopter saldırılarında kullandığınız STRELLA 2 M KAKRUŞA-SAM6-SAM7 füzelerinin temini nasıl olmaktadır. Sizin bilginiz dahilinde mi?

CEVAP: PKK'nın elindeki silahlar Körfez savaşında kuzeye doğru sürülen insanların bıraktıkları silahları topladık ve bir kısmını da para ile aynı yoldan satın aldık. Bizim silahlarımızın temini mali kaynaklarımıza dayanır. Mali kaynaklar büyük çoğunlukla Avrupa'dan bağış ve kampanyalardan elde ettiğimiz gelirlerdir. Örgütün mali kaynak temininde vergilendirme adı altında para toplanmaktadır. Bölge temsilciliklerine bağlı kişiler uygun buldukları şahıslardan para toplamaktadırlar. ERNK adına makbuz basıp para temin etme bölgelerin inisiyatifindedir. Kırsal alanda faaliyet gösteren özellikle BOTAN bölgesi gibi geliri olmayan bölgelere bence bilinen milyon dolar miktarlarında yıllık gelir para bu bölgelere gönderilmiştir. Benim bilgim dahilindedir. SOLHAN bölgesine 15 milyon dolar gönderilmiştir dedi.

[2] PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF KURDISTAN / Partiya Welatparezen Demokratên Kurdistan / PWD-K vice-coordinator Faysal Dunlayıcı (Kani Yılmaz) and PWD-K member Serdar Kaya (Sabri Torin) was assasinated with a car bomb in Suleymaniye in February 11, 2006.

PWD-K was formed to return to armed struggle, and broke from the PKK in June 2004.

This was the same Kani Yilmaz who had the support of hundreds of protestors who gathered on May 18th 1996 in London's Hyde Park to demonstrate his release as the leader of the European section of the political wing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the ERNK, two days before a High Court hearing on Yilmaz's appeal against the decision of the British Home Office to extradite him to Germany. He arrived in London on October 26th 1994, as the European Spokesperson of the PKK and was arrested on immigration irregularities. He was extradited and was never sent to Turkey. He was released from prison in Germany in 1998. He was also accused by PKK of being an agent for the German Secret Service.
