Mansur Yavaş responds harshly to Bahçeli's call for Öcalan: The nation and history will not forgive this.

MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made a striking call regarding terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan during his party's group meeting. Bahçeli stated, "If the isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party Group Meeting in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved."

YAVAŞ'S REACTION WAS IMMEDIATE

While Bahçeli's call to Öcalan resonated widely in the public, reactions from Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş were also swift.

"OUR GREATEST WISH IS FOR PEACE TO PREVAIL IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT..."

Yavaş said, "Our greatest wish is for peace and tranquility to prevail in this country. However, the way to achieve this is certainly not to allow the terrorist leader to speak under the roof of our Gazi Assembly. Neither the nation nor history will forgive this," he stated.
