土耳其已将被囚禁的库尔德工人党（PKK）创始人阿卜杜拉·奥贾兰转移至他被关押了27年的伊姆拉勒岛监狱新建的一处区域，亲库尔德派议员周六证实了这一消息，并敦促安卡拉加快停滞的和平进程。
Turkiye has moved the jailed founder of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Abdullah Ocalan, to a newly-built section of the island prison where he has been held for 27 years, pro-Kurdish legislators said as they urged Ankara to speed up the stalled peace process.
定期探视奥贾兰的“人民平等与民主党”（DEM）代表团成员米特哈特·桑贾尔在接受库尔德电视台“梅迪亚哈贝尔电视台”采访时，于周六确认了此次转移。
Mithat Sancar, a member of the Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM) delegation that regularly visits Ocalan, confirmed the transfer on Saturday in an interview with the Kurdish television channel Medya Haber TV.
他说，这一举措“要求加快（和平）进程”，并称该进程已暂停两个月。“该进程不能靠单方面的期待和要求来推进，”他说。
He said the move “necessitates an acceleration of the (peace) process”, which he said had been paused for two months. “The process cannot proceed with unilateral expectations and demands,” he said.
同属DEM的政治家佩尔温·布尔丹周日表示，奥贾兰本人已宣布了此次转移，但她淡化了其意义。
Fellow DEM politician Pervin Buldan said on Sunday that Ocalan himself had announced the transfer, but played down its significance.
据法新社报道，她说：“这处新设施是监狱的一部分；它不在监狱之外。地位问题不能仅凭奥贾兰先生搬到这个地点来界定。”总部位于埃尔比勒的广播机构“库尔德斯坦24”将该设施描述为在伊姆拉勒岛为奥贾兰新建的一栋房屋。该台称，此次转移被视为让他在和平进程中发挥更积极作用的准备工作的一部分。改善奥贾兰的监狱条件一直是库尔德方面的核心诉求。
“This new facility is part of the prison; it is not somewhere outside the prison,” she said, according to the AFP news agency. “The question of status cannot be defined solely by Mr Ocalan having moved to this location.”Erbil-based broadcaster Kurdistan24 described the facility as a new house built for Ocalan on Imrali island. It said the move was seen as part of preparations to give him a more active role in the peace process. Better prison conditions for Ocalan have been a key Kurdish demand.
库尔德工人党由奥贾兰等人于1978年创立，最初为建立独立的库尔德国家而战，后将诉求转向争取土耳其库尔德人的自治权和更多权利。库尔德人约占土耳其人口的15%至20%。该组织于1984年对土耳其国家发起武装斗争，被土耳其、美国和欧盟列为“恐怖”组织。
The PKK was founded in 1978 by Ocalan and others, initially fighting for an independent Kurdish state, before shifting its demands to autonomy and greater rights for Turkiye’s Kurds, who make up an estimated 15 to 20 percent of the population. The group launched an armed campaign against the Turkish state in 1984 and is designated a “terrorist” organisation by Turkiye, the United States and the European Union.
冲突已造成超过4万人丧生。自1999年被捕以来，奥贾兰一直被关押在马尔马拉海的伊姆拉勒岛上。
The conflict has killed more than 40,000 people Ocalan has been held on Imrali, in the Sea of Marmara, since his capture in 1999.
去年2月，奥贾兰呼吁库尔德工人党解散并放下武器，该组织于当年5月宣布解散。土耳其议会于8月通过了一项法律，为库工党武装人员提供有限赦免，库工党领导层已多次要求释放奥贾兰作为该进程的一部分。
February last year, Ocalan called on the PKK to disband and disarm and the group announced its dissolution that May. Turkiye’s parliament adopted a law offering limited amnesty for PKK fighters in August and the PKK leadership has repeatedly demanded Ocalan’s release as part of the process.
