International support for “I Want to Visit Abdullah Ocalan” campaign grows rapidly

As time passes, the campaign launched by the EFFP continues to expand. The Left Group (AP), the European Left Party, the Progressive International, the Union of Social and Cultural National Associations (ARCI) and the main organization representing 5,000 cultural centers in Italy, have all announced their support for the campaign.

Campaign coordinator and politician Tuncay Yilmaz told Özgür Politika newspaper that since the announcement of the campaign, many labor, peace, and democracy forces, as well as socialist leftist forces across Europe, have shown strong support. He stated: "The Left Bloc in the European Parliament and the European Left Party bloc have agreed to participate in the campaign. The Progressive International, which includes many movements, parties, trade unions, and leftist, human rights, environmental, democratic, and socialist organizations around the world, as well as the ARCI, the main organization of 5,000 cultural centers in Italy, and various circles in South Africa, have expressed their support for the campaign. The Progressive International, which includes many labor and leftist movements from Latin America to South Asia, has called on its members to join this campaign. A union from the UK, the Kurdish Friendship Group in the European Parliament, and various socialist left parties are also set to join. We are expecting responses from around the world, which we will share with the public as they are confirmed."

The number of applications will increase: 

Tuncay Yilmaz emphasized that the model of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, who could bring peace to the region and the country, must be discussed in a free environment. He said: "Not everyone supporting the campaign will necessarily be able to visit Leader Ocalan in Turkey; legally, that is not even possible. But what we truly want is for the doors of Imrali to be opened, the isolation to end, and international participation in the process to be achieved. Those who contact embassies, the Ministry of Justice, and local prosecutors can join the campaign. Journalists in international media are interested in Leader Ocalan's thesis and his method of resolving conflicts. Mr. Ocalan has a strong will capable of transforming a 'battlefield of war and conflict' into a 'field of peace and democracy.' Everyone wants to connect with this will. We will do our utmost to open the doors."
