The message from Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the terrorist organization PKK, was read live by the DEM Party delegation in a three-page statement, first in Kurdish and then in Turkish. In Öcalan's message, he stated, "Hold your congress and make a decision; all groups must lay down their arms, and the PKK must disband. I take full responsibility." Before the announcement, the last photo of Öcalan taken on Imralı Island was also shared.
The MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli's call for the PKK to lay down its arms and be dissolved has led the DEM Party delegation to go to İmralı to meet with Abdullah Öcalan. After the visit, the delegation is conveying Öcalan's message to the public.
The delegation, which will read Öcalan's call, entered the hall to applause. Sırrı Süreyya Önder announced that the text is 3 pages long.
