"INITIATING THE PEACE PROCESS HAS NOW BECOME AN UNDELAYABLE RESPONSIBILITY"

Hatimoğulları's evaluation is as follows: "The evaluations made by Mr. Abdullah Öcalan from Imralı are a historical call that could change the fate of Turkey and the region. Strengthening the Turkish-Kurdish alliance and initiating a democratic peace process has now become an undelayable responsibility. In this critical process we are going through, all political circles need to take constructive and courageous steps for a solution. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) is the most important ground for this process. The road to peace, democracy, and brotherhood passes through the courageous steps to be taken together. In this regard, no one should doubt that as the DEM Party, we will fulfill all our responsibilities and expand positive solution proposals. We are on the threshold of a historical opportunity; we can illuminate the future together."
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR COURAGE AND WISDOM FOR HONORABLE PEACE"
Tuncer Bakırhan's post is as follows: 'Mr. Abdullah Öcalan's solution and peace-oriented evaluations in Imralı indicate a historical responsibility: to bring Turkish-Kurdish relations to a democratic ground and to establish honorable peace in Turkey. This call is not only a proposal for a solution but also a historical opportunity for building a common future. It is clear that especially all political circles and the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) have a great responsibility in this process. Developments in Gaza and Syria reveal the urgent need for a solution that cannot be postponed. Let us all respond to the call for peace, democracy, and brotherhood together. We are on the verge of a democratic transformation opportunity for Turkey and the region. Now is the time for courage and wisdom for honorable peace…'
