I am someone who regulates himself most wonderfully. I have
                made myself as knowledgeable, powerful and determined as a
                god until I attain the highest level of humanity although I start-
                ed from the very lowest. 89

                Indeed, technical surveillance of KCK members has shown that

           they regard Öcalan as a prophet. "Members of the KCK visiting the
           house where Öcalan was born, which they look at as a kind of ‘Kaaba',
           said "We have walked around the Kaaba and become pilgrims. We have
           rubbed our faces in the dust." 90

                Something similar happened in the Sur district of Diyarbakır.
           The words "Greetings to the Prophet Apo. KCK" written on the walls
           of EŞİT-ÖZGÜR-YURTTAŞ (EQUAL-FREE-CITIZEN), an association
           known for its proximity to the BDP, in the district of İskenderpaşa
           provoked a strong reaction from local residents, and was later
           removed by citizens. 91
