Roj Bash Kurdistan

Ocalan said:

In this new period, we will be entering a process of living in peace and sisterhood and brotherhood, founded on a free and equal constitutional citizenship, democratic identity and a democratic society within the Turkish republic.

Kurds believe:

This is a political move to disguise Ocalan's real intention of giving Kurds self-rule

Anthea says:

WTF
What part of Ocalan's speech leads Kurds to believe Ocalan will give the Kurds independence ?

The title of your post sounds like a 'Poisson d'Avril'

North Kurdistan Independence must be decided by the will of people, not the desire of one person.

Many Kurds have been brainwashed into believing that when Ocalan said "within the Turkish republic" it was a clever political move to end the fighting and give the Kurds autonomy - I am beginning to feel that I must have miss-read Ocalan's letter

The Kurds say it is only 'politics' and does not mean Ocalan really wants to keep the Kurds under Turkish occupation/control - they still believe that Ocalan will lead them to freedom

It is NOT for Ocalan to deny the Kurds their dream of freedom

Ocalan will turn the Kurds back into mountain Turks
