Öcalan: The government must take steps to advance process

DIHA News Agency has reported the words Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan said to his sister Fatma and uncle Süleyman Arslan. “The government – Öcalan said - should take steps for the solution process by October 1. I have successfully completed the first phase of the process – he added – and I started the second stage, but the government is supposed to take some steps either”. Öcalan added: “I did my best in this regard. I'm not saying I will withdraw from the process after October 1 – he stressed - but by then if no step is taken how can we actually talk of a process. What else can I do?” he asked.

The Kurdish leader also underlined that to keep denying the lawyers access to him emerges as a major problem. Likewise he stressed that the process won't procede if sick prisoners are not released.
