Family of Öcalan granted visit permit
After months of isolation, finally the families of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan has been granted permission to go and visit him in Ýmralý.
It is understood that the demand from the lawyer to visit Öcalan (they have not seen him since 27 July) has been rejected once more, while permission has been granted to the family.
In his last meeting with the lawyers, on 27 July, PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan had made significant statements.
Calling on the Turkish state and Kandil, PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan said; "I have finished to play my role. I will take no more steps from now onward to carry on my role unless I am provided with an area of health, security and free movement".
Stating that he will not be able to perform an active leadership under the current circumstances, Öcalan said the followings; "I had already expressed that I will no more be able to perform my role under these conditions, however the attitude of the state and the AKP is blindingly obvious, they don't take any steps. Both Kandil and the state's delegation take me in hand and use me as a subcontractor. From today on, I give an end to be used as a subcontractor as my current position harms both the state and the Kurds. I will no more able to give instructions from here. Peace talks cannot be held under these conditions. My situation is similar to that of Mandela in South Africa. And just like he did, I will also not attempt to take any steps towards peace unless I am set free and have a possibility to move freely. As known, Mandela played his role after the necessary conditions were provided.
Operations are following one another and neither the state's delegation nor the KCK has done its part. We make no headway in this way. Besides the process does harm to both the state and the Kurds. My leadership under these circumstances will no more be for the benefit of Kurds."
Öcalan also remarked that the Iranian operation is "a regional attack" as Iran intends to extirpate the Kurdish freedom vein, which he said is very dangerous.
