The European Court of Human Rights rejected our application for the re-trial case. There is a special jurisdiction implemented towards me. They are responding to unlawfulness with unlawfulness. The court in fact did not expose the plot and the subsequent kidnapping that occurred in Kenya. This could have been a turning point. They can either open a whole new page by exposing the plot or can continue with this state of unlawfulness.

The case in relation to the death penalty being converted to aggrevated life sentence is of importance because at the time they imposed a sentence that did not exist at the time of the trial. If ECHR ensures that the fifth volume shall reach them then I shall write that as well. This final volume shall be of importance because it shall be about the resolution of the issue, I have concrete thoughts. I am not sure if they shall hand it over. The Court can come and examine the conditions I am in. They can stay here for 24 hours and see. In order to be able to breath here I have to lean against the window. This is the only way I can get some air. Under such circumstances I can finish my defence by the end of the year. You may request additional time. If they can ensure that they obtain the defence then I can prepare it. As I have repeatedly pointed out they are imposing a special law on me, a law specific to me. ECHR must realise this.

What did really happen in Batman? That event looks quite ambigious. It should be investigated well. They are trying to blame the PKK. It could be a plot. There was a sheikh that was shot in Batman a while ago. Such families should be attended to and they must warned so that they are not deceived. Other families and tribes should also be made aware of such things. They should all be alert. This incident could be a plot and what follows it may even be a new period of murders by unidentified assailants. This is why I talk of self-defence. I herewith commemorate Salih Özdemir and the others who have lost their lives.

I plead that you protect yourself but they are unable to do even that. There are thousands of people around them, can't they organize themselves, can't they protect themselves? When I hear of such incidents I really get angry. In relation to this specific incidence one should find out the reason why they leave their house. I had previously said before that those well known personalities should not go out at night unless absolutely necessary and even then they should not be alone.

To commemorate Aram Tigran one could open a museum in Diyarbakır. It could even be called the Museum of the Artists or Art House and Aram Tigran could be reserved a room. Besides one could reserve room for the memories of important Kurdish artists and personalities as well. They should not discriminate between them, for example they could own up to artists such as Celal Güzelses as well.

I believe democratic autonomy is also being discussed. We made such a proposal because we thought this was the most appropriate way to resolve the Kurdish issue as it involves democratic and peaceful methods.

Taha Akyol does not really understand what is going on. Their heads are full of statist ideologies. But it is normal for them to be so since people are under the severe bombardment of capitalism. They have been raised under the influence of conventional forms of thought. Social sciences and universities have served capitalism as well. This is why he finds it difficult to understand that a different resolution model can exist. He can't even imagine it and think outside of these conventional forms. The evaluations I have arrived at are both due to my own thoughts but also due to the books and thoughts of other authors who are able to break free from capitalist thought.

We do not believe in a state and statist ways of resolutions. We have said this over and over again. But in the mean time I do not exactly think like the anarchist thinkers either. All we want however is that the state is cleansed off the racist-fachist structures and perspectives. To us democratization of the society and people's internalisation of democracy is of top priority. Within such a system what is really important is that the awareness of the people is raised through their organization. This can be achieved independent of the state and with no expectations from it. This is why I proposed that hundreds of NGO's and councils.

It is quite clear that a statist resolution shall not really lead to a solution but lead things to a more grave levels. There are those, such as Elci, who defend a resolution based on a federation here. Such a model shall not resolve the question at hand instead it is clear that it shall result in a chaos that may continue for many year to come just like the Palestenian question. What we are trying to do is to prevent such a development. They have fallen into the trap in the South as well. This is the trap of the emperialism, just like the Palestine. They established a puppet state in Palestine in order to intervene as they wish. This is why no peace can be attained for neither for Israel nor for Palestine. Indeed this is what is wished to be achieved with the Kurdistan formation in the South as well. One must be aware of this so as not to fall into such a trap.

I have explained the issue of democratic autonomy, especially in the book called 'Freedom of Sociology', in detail. In order for democratic autonomy to be understood these books should be read and discussed well.

I ratify the latest decisions taken by the PKK. I had made such calls to this end not long ago. It may be declared to the press and public that I support this decision of the PKK. I thank all my friends especially those in the mountains very much. I believe this shall last until the end of the referendum. Indeed it would have been enough for it to continue until the end of the referendum, like the 13 or 14 of September. But that is not so important, what is important is that this period is utilized well. The guerrillas shall keep away from attacking the garnizons during this period. In addition unless they have to protect themselves they shall keep away from using the mines. But just as I said if they are coming with an intention to exterminate and there is no other way then in order to protect themselves they can most definitely use all means.

At such a time everyone must work more then ever before. If you think that this issue shall be resolved in time by itself then you are gravely mistaken. Because such a period may on the one hand be an opportunity for a great peace and bear a democratic solution and on the other hand may be the exact opposite and evolve into an unwanted substantial warfare. I really feel uneasy. Ergenekon like war lobbiests may once again step in.

The conditions for peace and war are both present. The guerrillas must also be aware of this. The process may equally end up in either peace or war. In all the regions where guerrillas are present on behalf of me these things should be explained and each and everyone of them must be told that I thank them.

As I pointed out we shall wait until the date of the referendum and see the stance of the government. This period of 'inaction' shall expose whether AKP is sincere or not. The stance of the army shall also become clear. Towards the end of this period I shall make a new evaluation in the light of the developments. We shall not accept any delays. I had previously withdrawn due to such delays and the fact that the state and government were not behaving seriously. If they continue to delay things then I shall not be able to do anything anymore either.

Hence everyone; including NGO's, intellectuals, writers, socialists, democrats, who wants a democratic and peaceful solution to the issue then must do all that they can in order for this brief period to turn into something permanent. Especially those who called for a ceasefire must utilize this period well.

During this period of ceasefire politics must play its role, politics must be the main feature. BDP must utilize this period to make its political breakthrough.

The other issue is the issue of referendum. Just as you are all aware there is nothing that concerns the Kurds directly in this constitutional package; the Kurdish issue has basically been ignored. Our people are free to discuss it in all its dimensions. The new arrangement paves the way for the possibility of AKP to establish its own hegemony. One should also not fall into this trap either. Our people should discuss all possibilites and then come to a decision. We know that those that shall say 'yes' are the Islamist nationalists. But the others are national nationalists. But we should take a democratic stance in relation to the democratic developments.

For one there is a need to clarify this: Why do we Kurds not exist in this republic? If we are told we are the inherent constitutive element of this republic and we took part in the establishment of this republic then how did it happen that we came to this? This must be discussed well. This is the most important part; how did we become so flimsy? During the Ottoman times Kurds held an autonomous position. Even M. Kemal has acted together with the Kurds during the founding years of the republic and has talked about autonomy. But his statements in relation to the above aspects have even been censored from his most famous 'Speech' while he was alive. These issues are discussed in Ahmet Özer's book called “Turks and Kurds”. The democrats of Turkey must approach the issue from this perspective.

I send my special greeting to the people of Batman.
