The leader of the terrorist organization Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) Abdullah Ocalan sent a letter to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the tripartite summit Turkey will hold with the US and the Iraqi government.
Ocalan wanted that his thoughts about PKK should be taken into consideration but complained, 'Neither the government nor KONGRA-GEL take me seriously.' Ocalan sent a 90-page letter from Imrali Prison to the Prime Minister urging a 'peaceful attitude' in the summit and warning: 'If there is no positive result, there will be guerrilla movement after the winter. But we do not want this. Leyla Zana asked for six months and we took this seriously too. If the summit decides on clearance I cannot do anything to stop a bitter struggle. They will come directly to Turkey.' Ocalan said that the government should take action to make peace and wished that this process should end without any problems. Ocalan asked the Prime Minister to give positive messages in his visit to Diyarbakir on January 15th and he suggested that it is the US which forces Turkey to fight against Kurds. "
