IMRALI PRISON, Turkey, –Speaking to his lawyers at the meeting in Imrali island, the Kurdish national leader Abdullah Ocalan said that “There is a great repression against Kurds. They must make their decision”.
Ocalan pointed out that this process certainly would not accept any mistakes. “After 15 June, after the general elections – said Ocalan – we can expect only one of the two options: either we enter a reasonable negotiation process or a big war will explode”.
Drawing attention to the legal system in turkey, Ocalan emphasized; “Law can’t exist at the pincers of genocide. Turkey doesn’t even have the grounds of a true real legal order which is required before the justice. Just like everything else, a true law can’t exist either without a proper democratic ground”.
A GREAT EXCLUDING CASE
Evaluating the work of the DTK (Democratic Society Congress), Ocalan said the followings; “As an umbrella organization, DTK can lead the struggle. They need to make their own decisions. They can create their own leaders. Kurdish politicians couldn’t open a political area. They were unable to record much progress in this respect. They are being expelled”.
Ocalan continued as follows; “There is a big push to exclude Kurds from the political arena. The Kurds must make their decisions. It is also important to give the right decision. They must determine an attitude against these oppressions. There is not much I can do here. We have one and a half months left. But I or the committee can’t do much against the government’s current attitude. We can at the furthest hold several more meetings and I can’t do much more afterward”.
