In his conversation programs, Mr. Adnan Oktar frequently mentions that Ocalan must continue to be imprisoned for the sake of our country and people and noted that if he got out, his own life would be in danger. Following Mr. Oktar’s statements on this matter, author and academician, Huseyin Yayman, and the Co-Chairman of the HDP, Selahattin Demirtas, reportef that Ocalan said during a meeting the following words, “Even if they open these doors and tell me to go out, I would not do that.” November 28th, 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: Huseyin Yayman. “Ocalan news from Huseyin Yayman. Ocalan doesn’t want to leave Imrali because he fears assassination.” My brother, I already said what I know for sure. Look, Abdullah Ocalan believed my statement, because others besides me were saying, “Let’s get him out”; most of the writers were saying this. And some of them remain silent. We are staying at home, but our ideas are in power. Look, Abdullah Ocalan says, “I will not leave here.” You are old now. You are staying at a very secure place. The state is taking care of your health. The state’s taking care of everything. If you get out and stay at a villa, they would shoot you the instant you step out on the balcony with a sniper. They would not let you live. But if you stay there, you would live until the last phase of your old age. The state is very meticulous. His food is prepped really carefully. They check his food beforehand for poison: This is special treatment. They check his food for poison before it is served to him. They are careful about everything when it comes to him. You are on an island, okay. Your other imprisoned friends could come there. Do sports. Go outside to the garden. We are not saying that he should be tormented. But if you left there, you would experience misery. They would not let you breathe. If you go to Diyarbakir, they would cut you into pieces there. They would shoot you for sure. You can’t just walk around freely. But on that island you are free and comfortable. You sleep as you please. You are at peace. First of all you, would lose your peace. For example, if you enter into a crowd of 100,000 people, all right, there could be people applauding you, but there would be people trying to lynch, slander, shoot and kill you. There would be no end to this. Not just one but many people could shoot at him at the same time. You can’t live outside. Listen to my words. Yes. What does Abdullah Ocalan say? He says, “Yes. I will listen to you. I will not leave this island.” This is the right thing to do. Whatever I say, they listen to it because I’m saying the right thing to do. November 22nd, 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: My brother, if we remained silent, I mean if I remained silent, they would have let Ocalan out already and they would have taken steps about self-autonomy and all. I did not let them do this single-handedly; I talked about this day and night. Otherwise he would have become Prime Minister of that federal region and they would have given him much authority. But I did not let them. My brother, we don’t want anyone to be in prison, but if a person is sentenced to serve his time, and he committed a crime, the just and fair thing to do is to keep him in prison. Otherwise we can’t talk about justice or law. And when there is no justice or law, there is no life. We have to do this. And he will accept this. For the sake of the people and the nation, if they are thinking about the balance of the world and the good of the people and the nation, and if he has even the smallest bit of conscience, he should not ask to be let out. WHEN HE GETS OUT, IT WOULD CAUSE GREAT CORRUPTION AND SOMEONE WOULD SHOOT HIM, LET ME TELL YOU, RIGHT IN THE HEAD. He lives there in safety. Also he is old and it is the last period of his life. March 19th, 2014: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: I said this before about Abdullah Ocalan. If he got out, they would not let him live. Neither the PKK not the opposition would let him live. Iraqi terrorists and Syrian terrorists also would not let him live. He has many enemies. With the condition that it is not inhuman, he needs to be able to live there like a human being. The state actually takes care of him really well. He has a doctor and a nurse and he is fed well. But if they oppress him, that would be unscrupulous. If they slander him with words or prevent him from seeing his relatives, that would not be right. He should be able to see his relatives and friends. There must be a normal, humane treatment. December 16th, 2013: A9 TV ADNAN OKTAR: So are they going to let Ocalan go? How will his sentence be reduced? More than 100,000 people were martyred. Many people were martyred. He is responsible for them all. Also, THAT PLACE IS SAFE FOR HIM; THEY WILL NOT LET HIM LIVE OUTSIDE. MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT. THAT’S TOO RISKY OUTSIDE. HE MUST BE COMFORTABLE THERE. If there is a lack of some facilities there, that’s another thing; that can be fixed. A9 TV; March 30th: 2013 ADNAN OKTAR: Since Ocalan is in prison now, he is strong because he is well-protected . If he were let out, that situation would change immediately. Ocalan is not a person communists would take into account normally. October 17th, 2014, A9 TV (It is said that Ocalan will be taken into a prison other than the island. They are looking for a suitable prison for him.) ADNAN OKTAR: No, that place is fine. Otherwise somewhere on land would be very dangerous. The sea provides protection. How could he be on land? People would riot, attack the prison and kill him. That would be very risky. Sometimes things happen and people get agitated. They storm the prison. A classic ordinary prison would not be good for him. For example, there are some small prisons in various districts but that would be very dangerous. They would pull down the walls and destroy everything. It would not work. He is protected meticulously there. It the safest place for him. They should not do anything. |
