"We are pleased that speech. Disarmament is more at this stage. The bloodbath lasted for over 30 years. Enough is enough, people want peace. "


"I think both sides are sincere, I hope they laissront down their arms."


"It would be so nice if the weapons were left behind, peace would prevail and everyone would live in peace and it would create job opportunities."


Besides the call to disarm his troops launched, Öcalan has listed in his message a series of 10 measures in his eyes for a lasting peace in Turkey, including the drafting of a new constitution.


The Turkish government wanted to accelerate the peace process with the PKK before the general elections on 7 June.
