[EN] Interview with Birsen Kars, December 2002

“Beauty is about the one who gazes at you. It is a byproduct of the gaze, as the gaze is the product of an idea. One’s ideas form their gaze and their gaze develops their understanding of beauty. I will always be beautiful for the ones who are like me, and I will stay beautiful forever. I will be beautiful to my own eyes, as I know why I acted in a certain way and I have been facing the consequences.

Fascism tried to destroy us together with our ideas. They burned us alive. Our comrades saved us, it is their sacrifice that kept us alive. We promised to ourselves “we will give our lives”, and I gave some parts of my body. Everything develops according to the nature of the war.

The reason is obvious: Ali Osman Köse never bowed his head down to fascism and never renounced his political views. He is a strong representative of the tradition of the uncompromising ‘free prisoners’.

Palestine in 20 Questions

 

 

1) What is meant by “Palestine Problem”?

To put out simply; imperialism and Zionism stole the 90% land mass of Palestine and forced 4 million Palestinians to live in exile, away from their own country. Rest of the Palestinian people are forced to live only in the 6% of their land under heavy conditions of embargo and siege, stripped away totally from their national sovereignty and freedom in the conditions of slavery. This is what is meant by “Palestinian problem”.
