Ocalan's final statement "I reject the accusation of treason. I believe that I am struggling for the unity of the country and freedom. I believe that my struggle was for a democratic republic not against the republic. "I hope that the problem which has grown as a result of historic mistakes will reach a solution. I want this trial to contribute to that. I am repeating my call, the determined promise I made at the onset, for a fair and honorable peace and brotherhood in line with the democratic republic. "I call on humanity, the state and all societal forces to fulfill their duty. The future of the country lies with peace not war". June 29, 1999 |
