But state didn’t consider Öcalan’s calling” said Mehmet Öcalan.


Brother Öcalan says they didn’t have any news from their brother since September 11 of 2016. “ We don’t know what is going on over there since then. It is not true that some politic environments claim that Öcalan is still meeting with some one. We don’t even know whether Abdullah Öcalan is alive or dead. Family and lawyers have right to see him but it is blocked by government by showing reason of state of Emergency” said Öcalan.

Brother Öcalan emphasized that Abdullah Öcalan is not solution only for peoples’ of Turkey but he is a solution for whole Middle East’s peoples’ future. “ Middle East has became a blood land. There is a chaos. President Öcalan has important role to use this chaos for peoples’ benefit. We are concerned about his life. Abdullah Öcalan has the key of solution of Kurdish Question and democratization of Turkey” says brother Öcalan.

Sister Fatma Öcalan “ We are waiting irritatedly because we have no news about him. He was telling to me that he was annoyed when a young person loses his/her life because of conflict. We also don’t want to anybody else to die because of this war. If negotiation would continue, no one else would die” says sister Öcalan.
