Kartal in this respect called attention to the National Congress which, he underlined, should be based on the basic principles which PKK leader Öcalan brought forward and Kongra Gel and KCK announced to public as proposals for the Congress.
Kartal remarked that the developments in Kurdistan and the Middle East provide great opportunities for the liberation of the Kurdish people, and added that the National Congress is an indispensable duty for the elimination of dangers available on the other hand.
