Destici's reaction to Bahçeli regarding Öcalan: We will never consent to him coming and speaking in our Parliament.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli spoke at his party's group meeting in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM). Bahçeli, who called on PKK leader Öcalan, currently imprisoned in İmralı Prison, to dissolve his organization, made a new call this week.

BAHCELI'S WORDS CAUSED A SCANDAL

Bahçeli, who wants Öcalan to attend the DEM Party group meeting in the TBMM and 'declare the end of terrorism' if his isolation is lifted, stated that in this case, the way could be opened for him to exercise his 'right to hope.' These explosive words drew a reaction from the Chairman of the Great Unity Party, Mustafa Destici.

"WE WILL NEVER CONSENT"

Destici reacted to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's call for terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, saying, "Not 'isolation' but 'punishment' (life imprisonment without parole-death penalty), not 'agreement' but 'law', not 'right to hope' but 'repentance and asking for forgiveness'... The Gazi Assembly is not a place for traitors to propagate their treachery or to confess their sins. A new 'Solution Process' will be nothing but the repetition of the mistakes made in the first attempt and the destruction we witnessed at the end of the process. In short; we will never consent to a new solution process, to the lifting of the isolation of the terrorist leader who is the murderer of thousands of our martyrs, to the right to hope, and especially to him coming to speak in our Gazi Assembly. There can be no negotiation with terrorists; they must be eradicated through struggle."
