WHAT HAPPENED?MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, in a statement made at his party's TBMM Group Meeting on October 22, said, "If the isolation of the terrorist leader is lifted, let him come and speak at the TBMM DEM Party Group Meeting, proclaiming that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been dissolved. If he shows this determination and resolve, let the legal regulation regarding the use of the 'right to hope' be made, and let the way for him to benefit from it be opened wide." Shortly after this statement, Bahçeli called for permission to be granted to the DEM Party delegation to go to Imralı. The delegation, which included Pervin Buldan and Sırrı Süreyya Önder, went to Imralı Island on December 28 to meet with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan.
