KURD WORKING PARTY REPRESENTATIVE CALLED THE KURDS TO UNITE

YEREVAN, February 13. /Mediamax/. “We hope that the European lawyers will restore the infringed rights of Abdullah Ocalan,” the representative of the Kurd Working Party (KWP) in Armenia, Heydar Mnzur said today at a press conference in Yerevan.
According to him, the lawyers of the Kurdish leader submitted the case for consideration to the European court of Human Rights Defense. In the course of 2 years, as Mnzur noted, the Turkish government didn’t render on principle any assistance to Ocalan. On the contrary, the toughening of prison conditions of the Kurdish leader brought to the undermining of his health. According to Mnzur, the doctors are prohibited to visit the prisoner, also actions are brought against Ocalan’s lawyers.
During the last 20 days, several Kurdish public figures were kidnapped in Turkey. “KWP calls the Kurds of the whole world to unite and return all the cruel actions which Turkey displays toward our people,” Mnzur stated. -0-
