Ankara - The Kurdish rebel leader, Mr Abdullah Ocalan, told his trial yesterday that Turkey could end separatist violence by granting Kurds cultural rights, but denied he was bargaining for his life in offering to negotiate a peace.
"Whatever damage I have done, then let me be of that much use," the Anatolian news agency quoted the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader as telling the court on Imrali prison island. "The issue is not saving me."
