SHAKING HANDS WITH BAHÇELİ WHO THREW A HANGMAN'S NOOSE FROM THE PODIUM

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's call regarding the terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan last week received a lot of attention. Bahçeli said, "Let him come and join the DEM ranks in the Grand National Assembly and declare that he has laid down his arms, and shout that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been dissolved." In response, İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu threw a hangman's noose from the podium. Bahçeli took the noose and hung it in his office. Dervişoğlu and Bahçeli shook hands during the ceremony at Anıtkabir on Republic Day.

"I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO SHAKING HANDS"

İYİ Party leader Dervişoğlu answered journalists' questions about the issue after visiting the Turkish Hearths General Center. Dervişoğlu said: "I always shake hands with Mr. Bahçeli. I have no objection to shaking hands. I pointed out the discussions that need to be made on the concept of 'extending a hand' in some areas. This also happened between Süleyman Demirel and Bülent Ecevit. When Mr. Demirel shook Ecevit's hand during a visit to Anıtkabir, journalists asked him about it. He replied, 'Where else was I supposed to shake it?' Now, don't make me give such an answer."
