*Turk: Ocalan Does Not Live Under Luxurious Hotel

SALPAZARI, Feb 24 (A.A) - Justice Minister Hikmet Sami Turk said on Sunday that Abdullah Ocalan, the head of the terrorist organization, did not live under luxurious hotel conditions on Imrali island as it was exaggerated. 
When a citizen, Ismail Kara, said they wanted Ocalan to serve his prison sentence in a normal prison, Turk said Ocalan did not walk around the island. 

Turk said, ''Ocalan serves his prison sentence in a room. Ocalan is kept on Imrali island for security reasons. The region around Imrali Island is a forbidden zone. No privileges has been given to him. He makes use of ventilation like the other prisoners.''
