Ankara, July 20: Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the outlawed PKK, will soon reveal a four-step ‘road map’ that would solve the Kurdish issue, his lawyers say.
Ocalan will propose that Turkey create ‘strategic alliances’ with the Kurds, his lawyers told the Hürriyet daily on Saturday in an interview that was published on Sunday.
The plan, expected to be unveiled by mid August, is an answer to the Kurdish question, which is going to leave the government in a state of ‘uncomfortable curiosity’, the lawyers said.
The road map will include an introduction about why Turkey should solve the Kurdish issue, and will suggest that Turkey establish a strategic alliance with the Kurds, not only in Mosul and Kirkuk but also in Syria.
Ocalan will also describe the steps that should be taken for a solution in the short- and medium-terms and will set conditions for the disarmament of PKK members still in the mountains.
