- Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ said, 'Abdullah Öcalan is now not a prisoner as a commission member. Since he is not a prisoner, he is no longer in prison; he will stay in the villa built for him. Yes, Öcalan has now been released. They are thinking about how to explain this to society and how to make them digest it over time.'
HE HAD MOVED TO A NEW PLACE IN İMRALI
DEM Party İmralı Delegation member Mithat Sancar announced on a television channel that Abdullah Öcalan, leader of the terrorist organization PKK, had moved to a new place prepared for him in İmralı.
Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ noted the following in his message shared on his social media account regarding the issue:
'Abdullah Öcalan was appointed as a commission member shortly before this, and at the moment he was appointed as a commission member, his conviction ended. Because, according to the laws, a prisoner cannot be a commission member. He cannot work on any commission of the state. Abdullah Öcalan is now not a prisoner as a commission member.
Since he is not a prisoner, he is no longer in prison; he will stay in the villa built for him. This villa has also been designed as a working environment for him. In this villa, he, his assistants, and probably the person he will marry in the future, the person he is considered to marry, will also work as his private secretary. He will continue his meetings here. He will continue his political activities here.
HE WILL ALSO ANNOUNCE ÖCALAN'S DEMANDS
Yes, Öcalan has now been released. They are thinking about how to explain this to society and how to make them digest it over time. Of course, meanwhile, such demands are coming from Abdullah Öcalan that even when I hear them, I say, 'Come on, that's too much!' Let it mature a little more, and I will also share these demands of Abdullah Öcalan with the Turkish public.'
