Its final declaration and the decisions taken were shared with the public on May 12. \u015eiyar Amed began his speech by honoring all the martyrs, particularly remembering Ali Haydar Kaytan, R\u0131za Altun, and Sakine Cans\u0131z with gratitude. He noted that he agreed with the concise and poignant speeches of the other delegates and pointed out that the decision to dissolve had already been explained by President \u00d6calan. He said, \u201cI would just like to briefly share how I understand this process through the language of art and literature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He changed the fate of a people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u015eiyar Amed stated that President \u00d6calan had changed the course of history and noted that, in literary terms, this could be described as \u201cchanging the story\u201d or \u201cchanging the fate of the story.\u201d He continued: \u201cPresident \u00d6calan changed the fate of many stories, he changed the fate of a people, and he is changing the fate of humanity. During the Imral\u0131 process, he tried to explain this through mythology, literature, and art. At first, he referred to Hector and asked, \u2018Why was I not Hector?\u2019 Then he answered himself: \u2018Hector fought heroically, and Anatolia fell. My not becoming Hector, my refusal to become a hero now, is the greatest heroism.\u2019 He expressed that his goal was freedom and liberation together with the peoples of Anatolia. And today, here we are, on May 6. Together with the peoples of Turkey, with the peoples of Anatolia, and in memory of the honorable S\u0131rr\u0131 S\u00fcreyya \u00d6nder, a monument is being created. Now, the fate of this story is changing. There are some stories whose fate is very difficult to change, but President \u00d6calan changed them. He never said, \u2018\u2018This happened in the past, it has been told, and it cannot be changed. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the clearest example. In the past, we saw Enkidu as a heroic figure equal to Gilgamesh. But President \u00d6calan later interpreted it differently. That is, his interpretation of history was always unique. And now, through his latest interpretations, he is truly changing fate. He is completely transforming the fate of the story. We have entered such a phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We will pass through new stages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u015eiyar Amed added that President \u00d6calan always sought to reveal the essence of things. He said, \u201cSo, without taking up too much of your time, I would like to share a brief artistic story. They bring two stones and give them to two great artists, telling them, \u2018Carve the stone and create a work of art.\u2019 One of them sculpts a perfect replica. The other leaves it rough and uneven, but says, \u2018Come closer.\u2019 When they do, they see that the one who left it irregular has brought the stone to life, energy is radiating from it. President \u00d6calan always revealed the essence. That is true art. The greatest artist is President \u00d6calan. So, when he said \u2018I am liberated,\u2019 perhaps he meant that the formal structures that blocked the opening of new doors had been removed. Of course, President \u00d6calan has made evaluations related to the essence. None of us reject that. There are also philosophical reflections on it. Now, we have stepped through the gate of truth. Every gate leads through many stages. Our comrades also pointed this out. From now on, we will pass through many new stages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time for a new beginning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u015eiyar Amed concluded his remarks with another brief story reflecting the theme of transformation: \u201cOld eagles, if they are not weary of life, break their beaks and wings against the rocks. They endure immense pain. But if they are willing to face that pain, new ones grow in their place. A new beak, new wings, and with magnificent majesty, they begin to fly again. I believe we are entering such a period, a time when we will be reborn with majesty. I feel this excitement among my comrades as well. President \u00d6calan has always approached everything with the concept of meaning. In this new phase we are entering, we are truly opening up new horizons in which to embody our love, our commitment, and our understanding in practice. Among Native American peoples, rather than saying \u2018I love you,\u2019 they say \u2018I understand you.\u2019 And that means \u2018I love you.\u2019 President \u00d6calan said that understanding is practicing. Now we are entering a period where we can practice more, and on a larger scale. As our comrades have also said, this is undoubtedly a new phase of self-criticism and a new period of practical action. A new door is opening. A new horizon is unfolding before us. I came here to share this excitement with all my comrades. With respect to all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u015eiyar Amed said that President \u00d6calan is reshaping the fate of the story, marking the beginning of a transformative phase. \u015eiyar Amed, one of the delegates at the 12th Extraordinary Congress of the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK), stated that a greater and more significant phase is now beginning.
