    ARMENIAN KURDS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST TURKEY IF OCALAN TRIAL IS "UNFAIR"

    Yerevan, 9 June: Hundreds of thousands of Kurds will organize mass
    actions in various European countries, particularly in France, on 9
    June to protect their leader Abdullah Ocalan (leader of the Kurdistan
    Workers' Party - PKK) , the head of the Caucasus representative
    office of the Assembly of the People of Kurdistan (former KADEK -
    the Congress for Freedom and Democracy in Kurdistan - successor to
    the PKK), Geydar Ali, has told a news conference in Yerevan.

    He said that in doing so, the Kurds hoped to draw the world community's
    attention to Ocalan's trial to be held on that day in the European
    Court on Human Rights and to achieve a fair verdict.

    According to Geydar Ali, if the trial is unfair, the Kurdish-Turkish
    clashes will continue, especially as the second congress of the
    Assembly of the People of Kurdistan held in northern Iraq on 13-26
    May made a decision to suspend the unilateral truce.

    Geydar Ali said that the unilateral truce and peace policy declared
    by the Kurdish people failed to persuade Turkey and involve this
    country in talks: "Turkey does not understand the language of consent
    and democracy, that is why the second congress decided to respond to
    Turkish attacks with serious counter-attacks".
