Closed Kurdish separatist leader of PKK Oplan Problems Call for Weapon

Abdullah Okalan, the closed leader of the Kurdish separatist PKK, called on his movement to put his hands and to dissolve.

His statement, read in a letter from Procardian Party MPs, was aimed at ending four decades of armed struggle in the southeastern part of Turkey, which killed tens of thousands of people.

The 75-year-old Okalan had previously met with the MPs for several hours of IMRALS, an island in the sea of ​​Marmara southwest of Istanbul, where it has been closed in seclusion since 1999.

His message came months after the ultra -nationalist leader Devlet Bahli, who is part of the Turkey government, has begun an initiative to end the conflict.

“There is no alternative to democracy in the pursuit and implementation of a political system,” said Okalan’s letter. “Democratic consensus is the main way.”

At the time of the members of the PKK – the movement of workers in Kurdistan – Pazalan said that “all groups should put their hands and PKK should be dissolved.”

He said the movement – prohibited as a terrorist group in Turkey, the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States – was formed mainly because “the channels of democratic politics are closed.”

However, Devt Bahselli, supported by positive signals by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other political parties, created the right environment for PKK to put his hands on, he added.

Bahselli has been pushing for difficult hostilities against PKK for years, but last October he surprised his colleagues by shaking with MPs from the Personal Party Dem in parliament and then offered to be released if he abandoned violence and opened his armed group.

About 40,000 people have been killed since PKK took a weapon. In southeastern Turkey, there was a rush of violence from 2015-17, when the cessation of the fire at two and a half fell apart.

Just recently, in October PKK claims an attack on the Turkish Aerospace Industry Headquarters (TAI) near Ankara who left five people died.
