Sabri Ok, a member of the Executive Council of the Community of Kurdistan Societies (KCK), said that today's march in Cologne to demand freedom for Kurdish people's leader Öcalan is very important.

Ok said: "On 17 February, the march for the physical freedom of Rêber Apo is very important. The campaign ‘Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, a Political Solution to the Kurdish Question’ has spread all over the world. Many friendly institutions, organizations and institutions have taken to the streets to express their stance. This is a great honor for the Kurdish people and their friends. On this basis, a big march will be held on 17 February. Just as our people in Europe turned towards Rome with hundreds of thousands of people when Rêber Apo went to Rome during the conspiracy process, just as all of our people in four parts of Kurdistan rose up, the hope, love and belief of then should also be present today.

On 17 February, all of our people in Europe, women, youth, children, old people, everyone should participate in this march. Because this march will affect our future. With this consciousness, this passion, this excitement, morale and motivation, we must take to the field and make a historic march. Anyone who does not participate in such a process is a sinner, in my opinion. I believe that every Kurd will play a role at this point. On this occasion, I congratulate and wish success to everyone who organizes, prepares and will participate in the march."
