'WE TAKEN A STEP BEYOND ITSELF'

 

Çubuk said: "The determination to fight has proven itself again. We saw this in and around the hall. We also saw the trust and ownership of the people in their own political symbols. Young people opened Mr. Öcalan's poster against the isolation, saying 'no matter what it takes'. In this sense, we can organize the line of struggle. We have reached a new level. Our congress was organized with the slogan 'For Freedom'. We want to say that we are taking a step again, but we are taking a step that goes beyond itself and does not repeat itself. I believe we will see the value of this on the streets."

 

Drawing attention that the isolation in İmralı was one of the important agenda items of the congress and said: "Erdogan is deepening the isolation because he does not want peace. The isolation carries the message of 'continuing the war against everyone', When the 'solution process' ended, the isolation in İmralı began to be gradually increased."
