The leader of the terrorist organization, Abdullah Öcalan, released a video message calling for "disarmament." A notable detail in Öcalan's message was the statement, "The PKK has abandoned its goal of establishing a separate state, which it once relied on, and its strategy of national liberation war."
The process that started with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's message of "Turkey without Terror" continues unabated, while the terrorist organization is expected to lay down its arms in the near future.
HISTORICAL CALL FROM ÖCALAN
While eyes are turned to the move expected from the organization, terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan made a video call stating, "I believe in the power of politics and social peace, not weapons. And I call on you to realize this principle. My call for the upcoming period is to act in accordance with the congress decisions and the views and suggestions I expressed in this article, and to achieve developments based on success."
"THE GOAL OF ESTABLISHING A SEPARATE STATE HAS BEEN ABANDONED"
The detail regarding the PKK in Öcalan's message drew great attention. Öcalan stated, "The PKK has abandoned its goal of establishing a separate state, which it once relied on, and its strategy of national liberation war."
"EXISTENCE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED, MAIN OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED"
Öcalan's complete remarks on the subject are as follows: "The PKK movement, based on the denial of existence and aimed at a separate state, and the national liberation war strategy it relied on have been terminated. Existence has been recognized, and therefore the main objective has been achieved. This is what it means to have fulfilled its term. The rest has been evaluated as excessive repetition and a deadlock. A comprehensive criticism-self-criticism will continue on this basis. Since politics does not allow for a vacuum, the vacuum must be filled with the program titled Peace and Democratic Society, the 'democratic politics' strategy, and holistic law as a fundamental tactic. We are talking about a historically significant and destiny-determining process.
