Abdullah Öcalan, who has been serving a life sentence in a prison on the İmralı Island since 1999, was allowed a phone call with a member of his family for the first time in 21 years on April 28.
During the phone call, Öcalan focused on the Kurdish unity in the Middle East, as he commented on the recent tensions between the PKK and the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
“There are certain mistaken evaluations about me. I know the struggle I’m putting forward here and will respond to these in the following process if I have the opportunity. No one should build their future plans over me,” Öcalan told his brother.
