Özgürlük Kazanacak: Kürt Sorununda Demokrasi ve Barış Manifestosu

Rate this book
İmralı Adası’nda çok özel bir tutuklu olarak dördüncü ayımı doldurmaya çalışırken bu savunmayla mahkeme duruşmalarına çıkmayı bir görev bildim. Benim için yeniden doğuş anlamına gelebilecek bu süreç; tamamen yaşanılan isyanın anlamlı başarısına katkıda bulunmak olacaktır. Hiçbir ciddi çatışma, kendine özgür barış getirmeden sonuçlanamaz. Savunmanın kendinde eğer demokratik sistemin ölçülerinde anlaşılırsa 21. yüzyılın, yaşadığımız sorun ve isyanlarından köklü kurtuluşun kapsamlı barışına duyulan derin inanç ve umuttur. -Abdullah Öcalan 29.05.1999 (Sunuştan)

About the author

Abdullah Öcalan

102 books344 followers
Abdullah Öcalan is the founder of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). From 1984, under his leadership, the PKK fought for Kurdish liberation. Since his kidnapping and arrest in 1999, he has been in solitary confinement in Imrali Island Prison.

Since his imprisonment, Ocalan has written extensively on Middle Eastern and Kurdish history. With his books he has significantly influenced the course of Kurdish politics in the last two decades.

He argues for the concepts of Democratic Autonomy and Democratic Confederalism that are considered an alternative to a Kurdish nation-state.

From 2009-2015, the Turkish state held negotiations with him about a solution of the Kurdish Question. Since the collapse of the talks in 2015, Öcalan has been under total isolation.
