New Abdullah Öcalan Message: 'The Period of Politics Based on Violence is Closing'

The pro-Kurdish DEM party announced the release of a new message from Abdullah Öcalan regarding the progress of the dissolution process of the PKK, following his call for the party's dissolution. The message states that “the period of politics based on violence is closing,” while also referring to a political choice and spiritual reconciliation with the Republic. Öcalan calls on all parties to take responsibility, pointing out that moves based on narrow political interests weaken the process. DEM Parti Co-chairperson Tülay Hatimoğulları stated that the responsibility now lies with the Government, calling for the immediate formation of policy and a clear roadmap.
