He pointed out the important political developments ongoing on in Turkey and Kurdistan.

Sweden Democratic Kurdish Community Center co-chair, Ridvan Altun, commended the hunger strike resistance against isolation imposed on Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Ocalan and said that this action has increased the international solidarity with the Kurdish people which is why, he added, a new Center has been opened.
