DEM Party Youth Council emphasized the significance of Öcalan’s 27 February call "Walking to Freedom with a Democratic Society," is the slogan of the march that will kick off tomorrow from Amed to Amara.  The march is being organized to mark the 76th birthday of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan.

The march will arrive in Amar on 4 April, Öcalan’s 76th birthday, and is framed as a continuation of recent mass mobilizations. "On March 8, women took to the streets. During Newroz, millions called for peace. Now, with the same spirit, we must gather in Amara," said DEM Party Youth Council member Yusuf Mendeş.

Mendeş said that "ending the isolation imposed on Öcalan is key to achieving an honorable peace. Everyone who believes in democracy and justice should take part in this march."

Another Youth Council member, Vedat Özer, underlined the significance of this march in the broader struggle for democracy. "We are in a critical period, and the ongoing isolation must end immediately. We invite all our people to join us in Amara. Strong participation will make a difference," he said.

Polatcan Gören, representing the DEM Party Van Youth Council, reinforced the call for Öcalan’s physical freedom. "We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to support this process. This march is not just symbolic—it is a step toward real change," he said, urging young people to mobilize.

With preparations underway, the DEM Party Youth Council calls on all those who support peace and democracy to join the march, vowing to continue the struggle until Öcalan’s freedom is secured.
