Women from the city of Kobani called for achieving the physical freedom of leader Abdullah Ocalan, considering it a fundamental step to address unresolved issues.

Badiya Mahu said: “The physical freedom of leader Abdullah Öcalan represents a fundamental step to solve problems,” noting that more than a year has passed since the “peace and democratic society” process began.
