Topics discussed include Turkey’s relationship with and role within NATO, including the silence of NATO and other international institutions which amounts to complicity with Turkey’s war against the Kurds.

Turkey’s agenda to destroy all Kurdish opposition, how international awareness about the situation can be raised, the necessity of peace negotiations to reach an end to the conflict, and the importance of freedom for Abdullah Öcalan for that process.
