Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan said he’s the only person who bring an end to 30 year old conflict between Turkey and the PKK. “We have a will to lay down arms. I am telling it directly. No-one except me can make PKK lay down arms” he said.
 Ocalan met with his lawyers last Monday in Imrali High Security Prison where he's been held for more than 11 years. Ocalan made some important statements about the fatal fighting in Silvan between Turkey and the PKK and the declaration of democratic autonomy by Democratic Society Congress.

Ocalan called for calm after the clashes in Silvan which left 13 soldiers and 2 guerillas killed. He commented about Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's recent statements about disarmement of the PKK saying that the Kurdish movement has the will to lay down arms since 1993.

Kurdish leader said he had another meeting with the Turkish delegation a few days after the Silvan attack where Ocalan demanded more opportunities to play his peacemaker role.

“If they will pave my way, I will fulfill what my role needs... I need the parliament to issue a statement... If they say we want to solve this problem by democratic constitutional means, we can solve it in a week” he said.

Ocalan said the clashes and deaths in both sides will continue unless he's given this opportunity.

“I am deeply sorry for guerilla and soldier-police casualities. The fire which burns guerillas is the same with the one that burns soldiers” he said.

Ocalan warned that the losses will be huge if the conflict prevention mesasures are not taken.

“We are not seperatists. We are against uniter ideology. We are definetly not seperatists. We are for unity” Ocalan underlined.

Ocalan called for contination of the negotiations between the government and the Peace and Democracy Party over the parliamentary boycott that protests imprisonment of 7 Kurdish elected deputees.
