The DEM delegation went to İmralı to meet with Öcalan, who is expected to make a call to the PKK. After the meeting, a statement is expected to be made at 5:00 PM, and a historic call for disarmament is anticipated to come from İmralı. It is stated that Öcalan will not present any conditions in the call and will continue to remain in İmralı Prison.
The DEM delegation went to İmralı for the third time today to meet with Öcalan, who is expected to make a call to the PKK. The delegation unexpectedly moved the announcement, which was planned to be made in Ankara on Sunday, to this evening in Istanbul. Following these developments, the content of Abdullah Öcalan's call is among the most curious topics. CNN TÜRK Ankara Representative Dicle Canova shared insider information regarding the content of the call.
The DEM Party's İmralı Delegation visited terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan for the third time today. The delegation, which previously consisted of DEM Party Van MP Pervin Buldan and Istanbul MP Sırrı Süreyya Önder, was expanded to seven members. The delegation making its third visit to the island includes Önder and Buldan, as well as former Mardin Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Türk, Co-Chairs Tülay Hatimoğulları and Tuncer Bakırhan, and Öcalan's lawyers Cengiz Çiçek and Faik Özgür Erol.
THE TEXT OF THE CALL WILL BE READ IN TAKSIM
The announcement regarding the call moved from Ankara to Istanbul was stated to be made in order to accelerate the process and reduce the risk of provocation. In a statement from the DEM Party, it was said, "The İmralı Delegation will make a statement today (February 27, Thursday) at 17:00 at Elit World (Taksim) Hotel after meeting with Mr. Öcalan."
"IT WILL INCLUDE THE DISARMAMENT AND DISSOLUTION OF THE ORGANIZATION"
Regarding the content of Öcalan's upcoming call, CNN TÜRK Ankara Representative Dicle Canova made statements during a live broadcast. Canova stated that the call will include the disarmament and dissolution of the organization.
Here are the insider details shared by CNN TÜRK Ankara Representative Dicle Canova during the live broadcast:
"A clear statement is expected from İmralı today, meaning disarmament and dissolution of the organization... According to the information I have obtained; he will provide a one-page statement to the seven-member delegation that will meet with him, and it is possible that he will read his own statement to them. In this one A4 page statement, it is expected that he will first explain the founding of the PKK and emphasize that the armed struggle was initiated due to anti-democratic practices, the non-recognition of Kurdish identity, etc. Then, it is anticipated that he will emphasize that, given the current situation, democratic openings, steps taken, and of course geopolitical developments, there is no longer any meaning in the PKK continuing its armed struggle.
"DISARMAMENT IS NOW A NECESSITY"
It is expected that he will refer to the necessity of disarmament and indicate a democratic struggle in the political arena, and it is also among the expectations that Öcalan will announce the dissolution of the PKK. What will be the exact wording, we will all see together, but it seems highly likely that he will make the dissolution decision as the head of the organization. So why will he make this call, what did he receive in return? According to the information I have obtained, there is no bargaining, and it is expected that he will explain the reasons for the disarmament and dissolution without conditions. It has already been emphasized that this call will not be directed at the state but at the PKK, that is, the terrorist organization, and it covers all of the PKK's extensions.
"NO AMNESTY, THE RIGHT TO HOPE IS NOT ON THE AGENDA"
What will be given in return is a question that is being asked a lot. According to the information I have obtained, it is said that there is no bargaining. The direct addressee of the call is the terrorist organization and its extensions. It will be seen what kind of response the organization will give after that call. Will there be an amnesty? No amnesty. The right to hope has also been discussed a lot. That is not available either. It seems that he will continue to stay in İmralı. It is stated that there will be no steps that will disturb the families of the martyrs."
