MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli reiterated his call for terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan during his party's group meeting held yesterday. BAHÇELİ: WE STAND BEHIND WHAT WE SAID ON OCTOBER 22Bahçeli stated, "Separating the Kurd from the Turk is as impossible and absurd as separating the world from the solar system. Our future is one; we must completely remove terrorism from our agenda by uniting and blending our hearts. Those who are brewing in Kandil must make a decision. Are you in favor of the separatist organizations or are you in favor of a shared destiny? MHP stands behind every word it says. We stand behind what we said on October 22. There must be face-to-face contact between İmralı and the DEM group," he expressed. DELAYED RESPONSE FROM DEM PARTYMHP leader Bahçeli's call for "face-to-face contact with İmralı" was met with a prompt response from the DEM Party.

But rest assured, we had already made our preparations." "WE WILL APPLY TO THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE TODAY"He added, "It seems that the reasoning towards a solution sometimes works the same way. Together with our co-chair Tülay, we will apply to the Ministry of Justice today to meet with Mr. Abdullah Öcalan in İmralı," he stated.
