MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made a striking call at his party's group meeting. Taking a step further regarding the peace process, Bahçeli said about the terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan's call made last week, "If the isolation of the terrorist leader is lifted, let him come and speak at the TBMM DEM Group Meeting. Let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved." DEM PARTY CONVENED EXTRAORDINARILYFollowing this statement, which dropped like a bomb on the agenda and was described as a surprise by many, the central executive board of the DEM Party convened extraordinarily. On the other hand, DEM Party Co-Chair Tülay Hatimoğulları, speaking at her party's group meeting, used the following expressions regarding Bahçeli's words: "The solution to the Kurdish issue is clear in terms of methods and interlocutors. The addressee of peace in the Middle East and Turkey is Abdullah Öcalan, who is under heavy isolation in Imralı." "THE SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE IS THE PARLIAMENT"The solution to the Kurdish issue is the Parliament. The interlocutor in the Parliament and politics is the DEM Party, all political parties on a democratic ground, and the democratic forces are the society itself. From our past experiences, we know that a peace that cannot be socialized does not provide real peace. "FOR A DIGNIFIED PEACE..."The consciousness of peace must spread to all cells of society so that it can be embraced by the entire society for real peace. If there is to be a beginning, isolation must be lifted immediately. The compass for solving the Kurdish issue is democratic negotiation, dignified peace. We do not beg anyone for a solution, and we are ready to take the initiative for a dignified peace. "ÖCALAN SHOULD COME OUT AND SPEAK"Bahçeli made a statement regarding Abdullah Öcalan saying, 'If the isolation is lifted, let him speak.' The isolation has been ongoing for 44 months, and we have been fighting for years to lift the isolation on Öcalan. The isolation on Öcalan must definitely be lifted. We say let him come physically and speak, we said let’s see what he will say last week. We repeat again; let the isolation be lifted, let Öcalan come out and speak, let’s see what he talks about. A step must be taken without wasting time.
