Quotes

  • “The struggle of the Kurdish woman is the struggle of all the women of the world”
  • “This war is not only a military war, but also a life war. It renews the society, renews the culture, renews the spirit, renews the brain and politics. Every Kurd knows that this is his/her rebirth.”
  • “It is not possible to take the country without war”
  • “I warn the PDK. This kind of voluntary cooperation with the enemy should be stopped. Perhaps the only way and his last chance is to stop these hostile attempts and move towards a patriotic attitude and order.”
  • “Let me be clear, other pakrewans are also part of this, but in the action of comrade Zilan, this part has come to the fore.”
  • “"An action is the action of one person, but without words it is an insult." This is actually the tactic of the PKK, the style of the PKK, and it is the style of action that the PKK should give as a response to the times.”

Encyclopedic overview

Abdullah Öcalan (/ˈoʊdʒəlɑːn/ OH-jə-lahn; Turkish: [œdʒaɫan]; born 4 April 1948 or 1949), also known as Apo (short for Abdullah in Turkish; Kurdish for "uncle"), is a founding member of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Öcalan was based in Syria from 1979 to 1998. He helped found the PKK in 1978, and led it into the Kurdish–Turkish conflict in 1984. For most of his leadership, he was based in Syria, which provided sanctuary to the PKK until the late 1990s.
