Ocalan: We are building a democratic nation

Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan says the Kurdish movement is building a democratic nation and a political philosophy which is based on the will of people.

During his weekly meeting with his lawyers Ocalan said the democratic autonomy is the political definition of democratic nation project. “We want to build a democratic nation. I mean what Kurds demand is building a democratic nation. We want to build a democratic nation in every aspect. Our project is all based on the will of Kurdish people” he said.

Ocalan defended self-defense aspect of democratic autonomy saying that it’s a vital part of the project as well as economic, cultural, social, politic and law aspects. He also mentioned that the Kurds in the cities must be organized to defend themselves.

Ocalan gave the organization model of Yuksekova and said that if Kurdish towns and cities organized themselves like the people of Yuksekova there is a great chance that Kurdish problem will be solved within the frame of the will of Kurdish people.

Kurdish leader also called Democratic Society Congress to speed up its efforts on building a democratic nation.

Ocalan called Kurdish politicians to discuss the project with Kurdish people by organizing conferences and meetings in Kurdish region.

About the extension of unilateral ceasefire which was declared by the Kurdistan Worker Party Ocalan said they will wait at most until June for Turkish government to show their good will in solving Kurdish Question with peaceful means.

He said a war which will take hundreds of lives in a day may break out if Turkish state won’t take steps for the solution of the Kurdish Question.

Ocalan also harshly criticized Turkish authorities for detaining Kurdish mayors. He said the government is trying to provoke Kurds to take up arms and fight against the state. “The arrests of elected representatives shows the will to continue war with Kurdish people. (Turkey) They must stop these arrests” he said.

Ocalan called the NGO’s which shows opposition against his proposals to develop their plan and proposals to solve the Kurdish Question. He also called all NGO’s to join the Democratic Society Congress.
