Possible New Message Expected From Imprisoned Kurdish Leader
Reports indicate that Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), may issue a new statement on February 27, 2026. This potential message comes as discussions continue regarding the ongoing Kurdish issue in Turkey, a conflict that has spanned decades.
Several sources are reporting the anticipated announcement. T24, agos.com.tr, soL Haber, NTV Haber and Evrensel.net all report that a message is expected on February 27th.
The potential statement follows a series of questions posed to Öcalan by journalists and writers, according to reports. The anticipated message is also described as potentially announcing a “second phase” of an unspecified process. The details of this process remain unclear.
The Democratic Regions Party (DEM Party) and a delegation from İmralı, the island prison where Öcalan is held, are also scheduled to make a statement on February 27, 2026, further fueling expectations of a significant announcement. The name Abdullah, meaning “servant of God” in Arabic, is a common name among Muslims, and was also the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s father, according to Wikipedia.
