In the process that started with the call of MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, the DEM Party delegation went to İmralı Island for the second time yesterday to meet with the terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan. The second meeting between the delegation, consisting of Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Pervin Buldan, and Öcalan lasted 4 hours. While the details of the meeting have not yet been clarified, famous journalist İsmail Küçükkaya shared information he received from a member of parliament, whose name he did not want to disclose, on his program "A New Morning".
"WE HAVE LESSONS FROM THE PAST"
Küçükkaya, who stated that he approached the process cautiously, said, "Because we have lessons from the past. Yesterday, a friend of mine from Ankara called. There was also a member of parliament who is still in office with him. He is someone who knows the Kurdish issue very well," he said.
"THE DELEGATION CAME TO US TOO, I SPOKE WITH THEM"
Küçükkaya continued his statements with the following remarks: "'What do you think about this issue?' I asked. He explained. 'You know,' he said. 'This delegation came to us too. I spoke with them. Afterwards, I also chatted with Sırrı Süreyya. Let me just say this much,' he said.
"I WANT TO SERVE PEACE NOW"
Öcalan told the delegation, 'I lived with a gun in my hand for 30 years. Now I want to serve peace without arms,' he said. 'As long as I live,' and he added to the delegation, 'Do not evaluate me by what I have done until today. I want to serve peace from now on.' This sounded very interesting to me. If he allows, I can also reveal his name. He is already someone you know. Maybe I will invite him to the broadcast soon.'
AHMET TÜRK COULD NOT ATTEND
It was learned that Ahmet Türk, the co-chairman of Mardin Metropolitan Municipality who was removed from office and replaced by a trustee, did not attend the delegation due to health issues.
