The leader of the New Welfare Party, Fatih Erbakan, commented on MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli's statement, "I will take three of my friends with me, and I do not hesitate to go to Imralı with our own means." Erbakan said, "We wish him and his delegation a good journey."
The words of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli at his party's group meeting have made a significant impact on the political agenda. Bahçeli stated that he would go to İmralı if necessary.
ERBAKAN: WE WISH BAHÇELİ A SAFE JOURNEY
Yeniden Refah Party (YRP) Chairman Fatih Erbakan also commented on Bahçeli's statement. Erbakan said: "We said that the Turkish Grand National Assembly should not go to Abdullah Öcalan's feet. If it is to be done, we said that Mr. Bahçeli, the proposer, should go. Mr. Bahçeli announced today that he is ready to go to İmralı. We wish him and his delegation a safe journey!"
BAHÇELİ: THERE IS NO MEANING IN DRAGGING FEET ABOUT GOING TO İMRALI
On the other hand, Bahçeli said the following at the historic group meeting: "A conclusion must be reached regarding the ongoing discussions about whether to go to İmralı or not. If the goal of a terrorism-free Turkey is to find life and ground in honest and sincere measures, then there will be no meaning in dragging feet about going to İmralı. If direct contact is not established with one of the main interlocutors of the process, how will results be obtained, and how will progress be made?
"I WILL NOT HESITATE TO GO TO İMRALI"
If the commission established in the Parliament cannot make a decision in this context, if no one is willing to make this visit, and if everyone insists on playing the three monkeys, I openly say; I will take three of my friends with me, and I will not hesitate or shy away from going to İmralı with our own means, nor will I refrain from meeting face to face around a table.
