Continuing the process initiated by the MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, who called on the PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan to "dissolve itself," a phone call was made with Selahattin Demirtaş, who is in Edirne Prison.

DEMİRTAŞ ACCOMPANIED HIS WIFE IN THE HOSPITAL

Selahattin Demirtaş was taken to Istanbul with the special permission of President Erdoğan to accompany his wife Başak Demirtaş, who underwent surgery. During this time, he had a phone conversation with Bahçeli.

Meanwhile, a photo of Demirtaş in the hospital was published. In the photo, Selahattin Demirtaş, his wife Başak Demirtaş, and Sırrı Süreyya Önder were present.

Önder explained the details of the meeting between Demirtaş and Bahçeli on Habertürk TV. Önder said: "Ms. Başak had a health issue, it was a serious condition. In a sense, it was a life-threatening situation. The doctors decided on a major surgery. This is a right granted to all prisoners. In this context, Mr. Demirtaş, our president, and his lawyers applied to the Ministry of Justice. I and Ms. Pervin intervened to expedite the process. It was presented to the President. He showed sensitivity.

On the morning of that night, around 09:00, Mr. Demirtaş was prepared at the hospital where the surgery would take place. He encouraged his wife until the surgery. We also encouraged both of them with Ms. Pervin. We sent him off to surgery with high morale. I thank all the doctors. All the physicians and staff on that floor mobilized. We thank them all on behalf of the Demirtaş family and ourselves. The accompanying security personnel behaved very kindly and sensitively. The surgery was successful. A few more procedures will be done after the surgery. We believe and trust that Ms. Başak is one of the strongest women friends and comrades we know. She will overcome this as well.

DETAILS OF THE PHONE CONVERSATION BETWEEN BAHÇELİ AND DEMİRTAŞ

At that moment, Mr. Bahçeli called me. He heard that Mr. Demirtaş was brought to his wife's side. Previously, when he had surgery, Mr. Demirtaş had sent a get well message through me. We conveyed both his get well wishes and those of President Selahattin to her. She was very happy and thanked us a lot. He called when he heard, and a very sincere short conversation took place, wishing for healing, Mr. Bahçeli. We put my phone on speaker.

GET WELL WISHES FOR BAŞAK DEMİRTAŞ

He wished Ms. Başak a speedy recovery and showed the courtesy to ask if there was anything Mr. Selahattin needed. Medically and in a hospital-like manner. Hopefully, good days will come, take care of your health, he said. Mr. Selahattin wished the same things. Ms. Pervin and I waited with the lawyers until the results for Ms. Başak came. Around 10 PM, we escorted Mr. Selahattin back to the prison. This is a human dimension. Neither Mr. Bahçeli nor Mr. Demirtaş would bother to discuss the agenda there. Mr. Demirtaş has been in prison since the process began and has been consistent in this regard. He is one of our most experienced comrades. Throughout the process, we received suggestions, notes, warnings, and things to pay attention to from him through his lawyers to the President, Mr. Bahçeli, our party, Ms. Pervin, and me. There were messages to the President, Mr. Bahçeli, and Mr. Öcalan. We conveyed and communicated them.
