Condemning the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and supporting a peaceful dialogue 
with Turkey. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
AUGUST 2, 2012 
Mr. WHITFIELD (for himself and Mr. HASTINGS of Florida) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and supporting 
a peaceful dialogue with Turkey. 
Whereas since 1984, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) 
has waged a campaign of violence and terrorism against 
the people and Government of Turkey; 
Whereas it is estimated that at least 30,000 people have been 
killed in PKK-associated violence since 1984; 
Whereas the United States Government designated the PKK 
as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997, as a specially 
designated global terrorist in 2001, and a significant for-
eign narcotics trafficker in 2008; 
Whereas in 2004, the Council of the European Union added 
the PKK to its list of terrorist organizations;

Whereas in October 2007, President George W. Bush charac-
terized the PKK as a ‘‘common enemy’’ of the United 
States and Turkey, saying, ‘‘[the PKK] is an enemy to 
Turkey, it’s an enemy to Iraq, it’s an enemy to people 
who want to live in peace.’’; 
Whereas in April 2009, President Barack Obama stated that, 
‘‘Iraq, Turkey, and the United States face a common 
threat from terrorism . . . That includes the PKK’’; 
Whereas, on April 20, 2012, Prime Minister Erdogan stated, 
‘‘The stance of the Turkish state is clear—once [the 
PKK] lay down their arms, it is [our stance] to com-
pletely stop military operations’’; 
Whereas in 1952, Turkey became a member of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization (NATO); 
Whereas the armed forces of Turkey and the United States 
have served together as allies during the Korean War, in 
Kosovo, in Afghanistan, and in the 2011 NATO interven-
tion in Libya, commonly known as Operation Unified 
Protector; 
Whereas President George W. Bush stated, ‘‘[Turkey’s] suc-
cess is vital to a future of progress and peace in Europe 
and in the broader Middle East—and the Republic of 
Turkey can depend on the support and friendship of the 
United States’’; and 
Whereas President Barack Obama said, ‘‘Turkey is a critical 
ally. Turkey is an important part of Europe. And Turkey 
and the United States must stand together, and work to-
gether, to overcome the challenges of our time’’: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

‘‘(i) as part of the proceedings leading to issu-
ance of such injunction, the court appoints a legal
representative for the purpose of protecting the
rights of persons that might subsequently assert de-
mands of such kind, and
‘‘(ii) the court determines, before entering the
order confirming such plan, that identifying such
debtor or debtors, or such third party (by name or
as part of an identifiable group), in such injunction
with respect to such demands for purposes of this
subparagraph is fair and equitable with respect to
the persons that might subsequently assert such de-
mands, in light of the benefits provided, or to be
provided, to such trust on behalf of such debtor or
debtors or such third party.

tion;
