Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist Jody Williams told Medya Haber TV journalist Erem Kansoy that Abdullah Öcalan's call for peace was an extremely positive development in the context of increasing war and genocide around the world.

Williams said: "It is inspiring to see Abdullah Öcalan wanting to move towards peace," and added that this process should be supported.

Williams continued: "The necessary conditions must be provided for him to be able to do what he says and participate in the process. Öcalan must be provided full security as a leader who is fully involved in this process."

Williams said that Öcalan would be a perfect candidate for the Nobel Prize.
