Ocalan: Peace will come when people take to the streets
Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan says peace goal of the Kurdish movement can be achieved if millions of Kurds take to the streets like the opposition supporters did in Egypt.
Speaking to his lawyers during his weekly meeting in Imralý island Ocalan said when millions come together and speak out for Kurdish rights the Turkish government will be forced to take steps to solve the Kurdish Question.
Ocalan insisted that he does not threat anyone or the state but is trying to find a way for a peaceful solution.
Kurdish leader repeated his call for dialogue and warned that if the dialogue channels will be blocked then violence and clashes will start again between Turkish army and Kurdish guerrillas.
“We want to avoid this and achieve a democratic peace” he said.
Ocalan said that Iraqi president Jalal Talabani may take a role as a mediator between Kurdish movement and Turkey. He underlined the fact that none of the Kurds are secure in South Kurdistan unless rights of Kurdish people are guaranteed in the north.
Talabani was the mediator between Turkish state and the PKK in 1993 and stood by Ocalan's side during the press meeting in Damascus where Ocalan declared the first unilateral truce against Turkey.
Ocalan stated that negotiations continues between him and a delegation from the Turkish state. He said the period until March is very important and Turkish government's response to his proposals will give a clue for Turkish plans against PKK.
“I am not calling anyone to war. I am just making comments of what might happen if we fail” he said.
Kurdish leader also said that his detention conditions must be changed if Turkey wants him to play his role on peacemaking. “Nobody can expect me to play a role under these circumstances” Kurdish leader insisted.
Ocalan harshly criticized Turkish government again saying that the only intention of the Islamist government is to crash the Kurdish political parties and become the sole political power in Kurdish region.
Kurdish leader said AKP is trying to create a new Islamist political party in Kurdish region by using Hizbullah and warned all Kurds to be on alert against this movement.urdish leader Abdullah Ocalan says peace goal of the Kurdish movement can be achieved if millions of Kurds take to the streets like the opposition supporters did in Egypt.
