Henri J. Barkey, an expert on Turkey and the Kurds at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote via e-mail that the government is very threatened by the KCK and, in particular, efforts to begin a civil disobedience campaign. "A civil disobedience campaign is likely to garner a great deal of international attention and the Turkish state (government, courts, etc.) is trying to head it off."
Henri Dž. Barki, ekspert za Tursku i Kurde u Karnegi zadužbini za međunarodni mir, napisao je u elektronskoj poruci da je vlada vrlo ugrožena KCK-om, a posebno nastojanjima za otpočinjanje kampanje građanske neposlušnosti. „Kampanja građanske neposlušnosti verovatno će privući veliku međunarodnu pažnju i turska država (vlada, sudovi, itd) pokušavaju da je preseku.“
