Kurdish letter to Oymen

A. Rezzak Oral Ankara


       A letter sent to Republican People's Party (CHP) leader altan oymen by
       the PKK 7th congress stated that CHP is the basis of the move to
       democratisation in Turkey and said, "Democratic and peaceful solution to
       Kurdish problem would open Turkey's way. The problem is neither a Turkish or
       Kurdish problem, but a problem of Turkey."
       The letter dated 20th of January, defended that Turkish democracy would get
       stronger by a cooperation among CHP, People's Democracy Party (HADEP) and
       Freedom and Solidarity Party (ODP) and said:
       "Only such a determination would take the required steps on the road to the
       European Union. To establish a democratic Turkey, is both for the benefit of
       the public and the most important service in the memory of democrats like
       Ahmet Taner Kislali and Ugur Mumcu. Oymen stayed in the same prison with
       Abdullah Ocalan in 1972. Our President appreciates Oymen in his memories."
       In a seven paged peace project sent by the letter an extended Consitutional
       reform is suggested as well. The letter said Ocalan should not be executed
       and the freedom of the leader of the terrorist organisation identifies with
       the freedom of Kurdish people."
