Aldar Khalil: All roads lead to Imrali 

The Autonomous Administration of the Jazira Canton in North and East Syria is holding the first conference of the communes today under the slogan: “Building the commune is the foundation of a free and democratic society.” The conference is taking place at Azadi Park Hall in Qamishlo.

After electing the council composed of five members, Leader Ocalan’s directives regarding the commune were read in both Kurdish and Arabic, accompanied by the display of his picture and those of other Imrali prisoners.

The conference also read the articles related to the commune in the Social Contract (Article 74, Article 75/Communes, Article 76/Implementation of the commune).

Following this, Aldar Khalil assessed the political situation, noting that the global system has established a framework that contradicts natural life.

He said: “If we do not recognize this and take it into account, we cannot understand the current situation and the changes in the region. Most of them are against the revolution, which makes our work difficult. They came to the region a century ago and drew a map, causing conflict. This system is based on conflicts and crises, and now they are deepening the crisis in Syria and Gaza. We have been struggling within this conflict for 50 years. When they sent al-Julani to Damascus, the mercenaries attacked us, telling us to be like them. Then Leader Abdullah Ocalan intervened, saying ‘I see that the situation in the region is worsening.’ After his statement, the war over the Tishrin Dam stopped. He affected the plans of international powers.”

Khalil also addressed the situation in Turkey, continuing: “They now want to intervene in Turkey, and the leader has thought about this. We must push them to change the Turkish constitution. We have struggled for years and imposed our presence, and the Turkish state was forced to recognize our existence.”

He highlighted Leader Ocalan’s efforts toward a democratic solution, saying: “He sought to implement this solution 20 years ago as well, but the minds of Turkish officials did not grasp it then. They have only recently understood, and the leader is now trying to change the crisis and situation in Turkey. The change in Turkey will also affect Syria. Today, we are holding meetings with officials in Damascus to rebuild Syria, but this has not yet been achieved because they are still stuck inside the box, while we have been outside it for years. They say they will not come. Why? Because the Turks do not accept it. They cannot take even a single step without Turkey’s decision. Discussions are ongoing regarding the return of the displaced from Afrin, Serê Kaniyê, and Girê Spî, but no steps have been taken yet. At the same time, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh are still besieged. Therefore, the problem here is linked to the democratization of Turkey, and all roads lead to İmralı.”

After Khalil’s speech, the attendees took a break.
