The call made by MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli for terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan during his party's group meeting ignited a new debate in Turkish politics.

The question of whether President Erdoğan was aware of Bahçeli's statement from the podium, "If the terrorist leader's isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party group meeting, let him declare that terrorism has ended and the organization has been dissolved," has become a matter of great curiosity.

THE ISSUE OF "TERROR-FREE TURKEY" WAS DISCUSSED

Although there are differing opinions within the AK Party regarding the issue, it is claimed that President Erdoğan and Bahçeli consulted on the steps to be taken regarding a 'terror-free Turkey' and that the recent statements were made within this framework. It is also reported that President Erdoğan congratulated Bahçeli for his speech.

"THE FACT THAT THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE BY BAHÇELİ IS VERY VALUABLE FOR US"

According to a report in Türkiye newspaper, AK Party sources expressed that there is a complete consensus within the People's Alliance for a 'terror-free Turkey', stating, "Whenever there has been a discussion on these matters, public evaluations were made saying, 'MHP won't allow it, AK Party can't take a step.' Therefore, the fact that this statement was made by Mr. Bahçeli is very valuable for us. Even those who never spoke have started to talk about this issue. This process is directly related to developments in the Middle East. While so much is happening around us, we cannot expect everything to remain unchanged. In the coming days, the positions of the DEM Party, İmralı, Kandil, and other elements will become clear. It will be seen whether they will continue to walk with the US or Israel. Turkey says here, 'I will not sacrifice the Kurds to the Zionist plan' and also gives an opportunity to those who exploit our Kurdish citizens," the opinion was expressed.
