Historical step and opportunity as his appeal to the members of the organization as a call to self -resolve the organization and to deposit their weapons, ending the war with Turkey, which has been lasting for 41 years.
“In Turkey’s 40 -year trial with terrorism, we encountered very serious difficulties. Terrorism aimed not only at the integrity of our state and the peace of our nation, but also our democracy, our economy and our politics. The threat of terrorism was used to blackmail politicians to manipulate politics in our country for many years, “Yogr? Ammise Erdogan, referring to the action of the PKK, who began his attacks on Turkish security forces in 1984.
He denied that he fell “in this trap”, over more than 22 years in power, that is, to succumb to the pressure, with the threat of terrorism. “We have always maintained the balance between security and freedom. We never threw a shadow in the deep and eternal brotherhood in these places. On the contrary, we strengthened it even more. “
Referring to Ocalan’s appeal, the Turkish president said that “since yesterday, we have entered a new phase of efforts for a Turkey without terrorism, which began with the courageous initiative of our partner in the popular alliance, our President, and our President,”
Concluding, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: “There is a historic step, an opportunity in front of us. The interruption of the sneaky and dirty game of imperialism in this geography will be recorded in the profits, not only of our country but also of our whole region. This has made the new course more meaningful and much more important. No member of this nation, with the Turks and the Kurds together, will not forgive anyone who leads this process to a dead end with ambiguous excuses. We believe that it is the most right decision to spend this critical period with calm, calm and honesty. There will be those who do not want to end the problem definitively and irrevocably. We will take all the necessary measures, at the highest level, against all kinds of challenges. “
PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, with a historical message, called on the organization yesterday, which he founded in 1978, to deposit his weapons. The PKK must hold a conference to make the decision of self-dismissal and all teams must testify, Ocalan said in a message that was read in Constantinople by members of the pro-Kurdish DEM delegation, which had been visited by the island of Im. He noted that he assumed historical responsibility for this call.
Osalan rejected the proposals that were heard in the past about the independence or autonomy of the Kurds or the solution of the federation and called for respect for identities, the free expression, the democratic self -organization of all parts of society, in the context of a democratic society.
