المبادرة السورية لحرية القائد عبدالله اوجلان

The Leaders’ Sayings

* As for liberal capitalist theories, they are incapable of doing anything except treating a patient with biological cancer by prescribing drugs to prolong his life, instead of ensuring a speedy recovery for society by resolving the chronic and cancerous diseases that capitalism has imposed on humanity.

* The nation-states that played the role of butchers in capitalist modernity considered themselves successful and happy vis-à-vis their new masters, parallel to their success in denying and eradicating the past and replacing it with Orientalist mentalities and institutions that serve the regime.

* The theory of the democratic nation places a fundamental value on unifying the cultural world of the Middle East under the term “Union of Democratic Nations,” and gives it priority.

* The theory of the democratic nation expresses the fundamental principled integration on the path leading to the re-establishment of unity, imbued with the spirit of freedom and democracy.

* The nationalism of the unitary nation-state and its absolutist ideology can only be definitively put to an end through the mindset of the democratic nation.

* The Turkish world has witnessed in many parts of the globe, from the Balkans to the Caucasus, from Central Asia to the Middle East—the division, fragmentation, blind worship of the nation-state god, and fighting over each other due to metaphysical and positivist Orientalist mentalities—cannot be overcome, nor can its fragments be reassembled within the framework of principles imbued with equality, freedom, and democracy, except through the theory of the democratic nation.
