Politics

Waving the Kurdish and Armenian flags to and fro and with the pictures of Ocalan on the flags, groups of Kurds organized a protest today near the Shahumyan square to demand the release of head of the PKK Abdullah Ocalan.

“We demand Turkey to release Ocalan. We condemn the Turks for that act of terrorism and for torturing our Ocalan. As long as we live, we are going to fight for our freedom,” said Sevil Amoyan.

Kurdish leader Ocalan has been in the Imali prison for 10 years for a conspiracy and has been treated violently. Recently, there are more threats that the Turks are ready to exterminate him. As a state, Turkey is no different from the prison. This time the violence is aimed not only at one person, but also the Kurds, who have found themselves as hostages and have rose to defend their leader from possible encroachments,” said protester Emij Elyan.

The protesters moved towards the UN office where they handed the statement made by the “Kurdistan” committee of Armenia stating the following:

“We call on all humanity, states and international organizations to combine efforts and establish democracy in Turkey, eliminate the threat of extermination of the Kurds and secure peace and justice in the world.”
