DİYARBAKIR - Calling for the Gemlik March to be held on the occasion of the anniversary of the conspiracy against PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, MED TUHAD-FED Co-chair Safiye Akdağ said: "We should join this march against isolation".
 
The international conspiracy against PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who was held under severe isolation conditions in İmralı Type F High Security Prison, on February 15, 1999, marks its 24th year. Democratic Society Congress (DTK), Democratic Regions Party (DBP), Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), Free Women's Movement (TJA), MED Law and Solidarity Associations Federation for Families of Prisoners and Convicts (MED TUHAD-FED) and Families Who Lost Their Relatives in the Cradle of Civilizations Under the leadership of the Aid and Solidarity Association (MEBYA-DER), a two-way march will be held from the Kızıltepe districts of Merdîn and the Yüksekova districts of Hakkari to Gemlik on February 6 with the slogan "We are marching to İmralı for a solution". The march will end in Gemlik on February 15.
 
Continuing the preparations for the march, MED TUHAD-FED Co-chair Safiye Akdağ stated that the war policies of the government in the Kurdish question developed on the basis of isolation and stated that the future of the peoples depends on the ending of this policy.
 
'ISOLATION SHOULD BE ABOLISHED'
 
Pointing out that Öcalan could only use the telephone right twice in 24 years, and that lawyers and family visits have been blocked for years, Akdağ said: "There is no such isolation system in the world. As long as the isolation on Mr. Abdullah Öcalan is not broken, the Kurdish people and their gains will be under attack and will continue to increase. A two-way march will be held to mark the anniversary of the conspiracy to break the isolation and stop these attacks. From today, we will further increase our efforts to end the isolation and carry out work in all areas."
 
Pointing out that Öcalan's ideas have spread all over the world, Akdağ said: “The paradigm he created so that peoples can live together is taught in some schools and faculties, and it comes to life in every part of life. The paradigm of Öcalan has become an example in the world. If voices are being raised against isolation all over the world today, it is because of Öcalan's universalizing paradigm."
 
CALL FOR MARCH
 
Calling for participation in the march,  Akdağ continued as follows: "We will march to İmralı for a solution from two separate branches. A start will be made in Qoser and Gever on February 6. We will end the march in Gemlik on February 15. Our call to the Kurds and other peoples is to join this march against isolation in the streets, in the neighborhoods and in the villages, in every part of life. We should work and take care of it.”
