Let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved," signaling a new process.

Bahçeli has repeatedly expressed that he stands behind the call he made in the past two months, while supportive statements regarding Bahçeli's declarations and moves have come from within the AK Party.

The most discussed topic throughout the process has been Bahçeli's remarks on the 'right to hope.' In his speech, Bahçeli stated, "If this determination and resolve is shown, let the legal regulation regarding the use of the 'right to hope' be made, and let the way for benefiting from it be opened wide."
