On Thursday, Turkey awaits a "historic statement" from Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, which may put an end to four decades of conflict.
Abdullah Ocalan, founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), has been in prison since 1999 for the revival of the Kurdish population. Currently, his ties are associated with the resolution of the conflict between the Turkish authorities and Kurdish separatists.
It is expected that Ocalan's statement will attract the attention of the Kurdish population and may contribute to the resolution of the prolonged conflict in the region.
"This could become a pivotal moment in resolving the conflict between Kurdish forces and the Turkish government," said a political analyst.
Ocalan is considered one of the key figures of Kurdish nationalism and plays an important role in the movement for the rights of the Kurdish population in Turkey. Moreover, his words always attract significant attention from the public.
