All these military operations, arrests, burnt guerrilla bodies, soldier funerals, all of them started after the negotiations with Ocalan were broke down. The negotiation with Ocalan means that; a step for peace, an address for intention for solution. But now, the war started by you took over all lives in cities and country sides. Give it up. You cannot win by arresting or killing more and more people. If you conciliate Kurds, you will win lives against deaths. Recognize freedom of Abdullah Ocalan and started negotiations, immediately. Bring peace to this country. Peace will give our lives back.”
