DIYARBAKIR AS A NEW JERUSALEM / OCALAN ANNOUNCES ‘ISLAMIC UNITY AS THE NEW KURDISH POLITICAL LEXICON”
Ocalan, once described as a “Marxist-Leninist outlaw” (..) His message was the opening address. No matter which way the Kurdish issues moves, we may now predict that historians will record the May 10-11, 2014, Democratic Islam Congress of Diyarbakir as a milestone for the Kurds. He (Ocalan) introduced a different “Islamic unity for the Kurds” by making references to the Quran. This could well be the “new Kurdish political lexicon.”
