Mike Arnott: Öcalan's freedom is the key to a peaceful solution to the Kurdish question

Responses to the letters from the 69 Nobel Prize winners about the complete lack of communication by the Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan continue to come in. Expressions of support for Abdullah Öcalan's freedom are also continuing to be sent worldwide.

Mike Arnott, chairman of the Scottish Dundee Trade Union Confederation, welcomed the Nobel Prize winner's letter and called for an immediate end to the isolation on Imrali.

Arnott told journalist Erem Kansoy on Medya Haber: “The freedom of Abdullah Öcalan is essential for the realization of peace.”

Arnott added that the signatories of the open letter were “very important”. “They stood up and demanded the freedom of Öcalan and demanded that the Turkish regime end the Kurdish question through talks with the PKK.”

69 Nobel Prize winners know that it is realistically and logically impossible to bring the PKK and the Turkish state to the negotiating table without Öcalan. They are very aware of Öcalan's important role and identity. Without Öcalan's release, not a single step can be taken to resolve the Kurdish question. Öcalan is the decisive representative of the Kurdish people at a possible negotiating table. Öcalan is the only name that is inevitable and accepted in a possible peace process. He should be released immediately so that he can take his place at the table.”

Arnott continued: “People all over the world are now aware of Öcalan's situation. Everyone is aware of his importance. Democratic confederalism, ecology and the paradigm of women's liberation have been the source of inspiration for progressive and revolutionary initiatives. The ideas and philosophy proposed by Abdullah Öcalan inspire radical, revolutionary democratic politics all over the world today. Öcalan is also the key figure for a peaceful solution to the Kurdish question.”
