‘Öcalan's democratic self-government model is a great hope for all societies’

Egyptian and Syrian politicians called for everyone to work with all their strength for the physical freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, stating that the model developed by Öcalan is a great hope for all societies.

Fîras Qesas, President of the Modernity and Democracy Party of Syria, former Egyptian Minister Sebrî El-Jundî and Syrian politician Aysar El Welî spoke out against the isolation of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan and demanded his physical freedom.

Emphasising that Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan is one of the strongest people seeking freedom, Fîras Qesas said: "Öcalan linked the liberation of Kurds to the liberation of all societies. Öcalan, who founded Democratic Confederalism, lives in a dungeon of the Turkish state today. Abdullah Öcalan has dedicated his life for our cause, and we as a people must struggle, resist and ensure his physical freedom. Öcalan's existence is important not only for the Kurdish people, but also for all Arab, Persian and Turkish societies. Öcalan's democratic self-government model is a great hope for all societies."

Former Egyptian Minister Sebrî El-Cundî, who has also supported the "Freedom for Leader Öcalan, a political solution to the Kurdish question" campaign launched by the friends of the Kurds in more than 100 centres around the world on 10 October to ensure the physical freedom of Kurdish People's Leader Öcalan, said: "Mr Öcalan founded the freedom movement in 1987 and led the uprising of a people. Because of this, he has been imprisoned in Turkey for 24 years. I am happy to join the campaign for Mr Öcalan's physical freedom. The Kurdish question can only be resolved with Mr Öcalan's opinion. Öcalan has been in prison for 24 years asking for the freedom of the people and we want him to be free."

“Kurdish People's Leader Öcalan said: 'Even if we have the power to defeat the world, we will not attack anyone. Even if the world unites and comes against us, we will never give up our legitimate, libertarian and democratic rights. We will resist for this", said Syrian politician Aysar El Welî and added: "Of course, we will fight against the attacks of the invaders until the end. Leader Öcalan has been under isolation for a long time. Our aim is to ensure his physical freedom rather than ending the isolation."
