Tekoşîn Ozan said that the ceremony expressed their determination to contribute to Turkey's democratization, while Behzat Çarçel said that democratization is possible not only through the silencing of weapons but also through constitutional change.
The preparations made by members of the Peace and Democratic Society Group before attending the weapon-burning ceremony were captured on ANF camera.
Politicians emphasized that the process, which began following Leader Apo’s call, has entered a new phase with the weapon-burning ceremony held in Başûr (South Kurdistan), and highlighted that the responsibility now lies with the state.
A 30-member guerrilla group that destroyed their weapons also placed a responsibility on society. From now on, the struggle must be expanded.
The disarmament move has pushed the peace and democratic society process forward, and now the AKP and the state must take concrete steps to ensure real progress.
President Öcalan’s historic call was welcomed with joy by PKK prisoners, who described it as “the sun has risen again over Kurdistan.”
