Activist of the Kurdish PKK, considered a terrorist organization by the EU and USA, has been captured at the Bulgarian border post of Oryahovo, DeltaNews reports.Thirty Five year old Veisel Yatash had requested for political asylum in Bulgaria, Border Police Chief, Commissioner Krasimir Petrov said. "He entered the country with a Turkish passport, but tried to exit it with a fake Bulgarian ID card", says Petrov.
The Kurd intended to go to Germany, as he fled from Turkey where he had been constantly arrested over his relations with PKK. According to Commissioner Petrov, Interpol had been on the hunt for Yatash.He has been arrested and is transported to the home for temporary accommodation of foreigners in Busmanci. According to Commissioner Petrov there will probably be a case filed in court.PKK (or Kurdistan Workers' Party) is a militant organization founded in the 1970s and led by Abdullah Öcalan. The PKK's ideology is founded on revolutionary Marxism-Leninism and Kurdish nationalism.The PKK's goal has been to create an independent, socialist Kurdish state in Kurdistan; a geographical region that comprises parts of southeastern Turkey, northeastern Iraq, northeastern Syria and northwestern Iran, where the Kurdish population is the majority.
