Abdullah Ocalan quotes:

I used to be someone who would not even tread on an ant. But this is a war for honor and self-defense. A 100 percent elimination policy (by Ankara of the Kurds) has forced me to defense and it has become a glorious defense of a people.

For peace and brotherhood, I am ready to serve the Turkish state, and I believe that for this end I must remain alive.

You must believe before everything else that the revolution must come, that there is no other choice,

We reached the point where weapons should go silent and ideas speak.

The stage has been reached where our armed forces should withdraw beyond the borders It's not the end. It's the start of a new era.
