Mr Öcalan's idea offer a meaningl-ful perspective for he whole Middle East. Any intervention against this idea will lead to war. Those who call for peace on the one hand have shown their seriousness and sincerity by blockading us on the other. This is not an issue that can be avoided. Turkey and the Middle East is the most important problem to bring a solution to what is happening. Everyone who walks in pursuit of this problem is walking after this solution. Democracy and justice are not only the demands of the Kurdish people. They know that the insistence on the Kurdish issue and war policies are the source of all these problems. They have shown the address and we are showing this address once again. The solution to the source of all the problems is Mr Öcalan's idea and solution paradigm. Conditions must be provided for Mr Öcalan to fulfill his mission. Mr Öcalan's practical adn theoretical mind must be trusted and peace must be given a chance. This move will not end here. This march will continue until Mr Öcalan regains his physical freedom and the Kurdish issue is solved."
