"WITH OUR CALL, THE DOORS TO A NEW ERA HAVE BEEN WIDE OPENED"

Öcalan's message, which began with the address "To those who fight for peace and democracy…", is as follows: "Our call for peace and democratic solution is not an ordinary political move; it is a strategic step and a historical turning point. With this call, the doors to a new era have been wide opened, where wars and destructions will be replaced by a democratic life based on peace, both in Turkey and throughout the Middle East.

"REAL PEACE IS NOT JUST THE SILENCE OF WEAPONS OR THE END OF CONFLICTS"

This is not just a wish; it is a concrete reality that must be built with strong possibilities and serious practical steps. Because real peace is not just the silence of weapons or the end of conflicts. Real peace is possible with the embodiment of freedom, democracy, and social justice in all areas of life. This social transformation is not only a right for our peoples but also the fundamental task of the new era ahead of us.

"THIS COUNTRY WILL NOW BE THE HOMELAND OF THOSE WHO SEE PEACE AND DEMOCRATIC LIFE AS BOTH A RIGHT AND A DUTY"

With the struggle of our peoples, the values of peace, democracy, and freedom will surely take root and find their place in social life. This country will now be the homeland of those who see peace and democratic life as both a right and a duty.

CALL TO "EXPAND THE PEACE AND FREEDOM MARCH"

On the occasion of September 1, I call on our peoples to take ownership of this historic task and to further expand the peace and freedom march. I believe that everyone will grasp the seriousness of this period, reflect on themselves, and act in accordance with the spirit of peace, and I greet you all with my endless love and respect."
