He added that Turkey is required to take practical and serious steps, foremost among them the release of leader Abdullah Ocalan. He noted that peaceful solutions to unresolved issues, including the Kurdish question and guaranteeing Kurdish rights, require benefiting from leader Ocalan’s vision based on dialogue and mutual understanding.

For his part, Jazira Union member and writer Bradost Mitani stated that achieving peace and stability in the Middle East, particularly in Kurdistan, is linked to enabling leader Ocalan to play a role in strengthening dialogue among peoples.
