DEM Party Group Deputy Chairman Sezai Temelli held a press conference at the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM). Temelli made statements regarding the content of the call expected to be made by terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan in the coming days, saying, "This will be a historic statement regarding the democratic solution of the Kurdish issue, which is very multi-dimensional and comprehensive, as well as its political ground solution."
"A CALL WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" Temelli from the DEM Party stated that the timing of Öcalan's call is not certain but will be historic. Temelli said, "We are waiting for the call. A call will be made as soon as possible. The date is not yet clear, but we expect it to be announced soon. What will the content be? We will all be aware of the content when the call is made, but it will be a reality with a date. Therefore, looking back, Öcalan's struggle for many, many years is actually a struggle for the democratic and political ground solution of the Kurdish issue.
Therefore, again, this will be a historic statement regarding the democratic solution of the Kurdish issue, which is very multi-dimensional and comprehensive, as well as its political ground solution. Thus, we had expectations and ideas that its content would be in this direction.
DEM Party Group Deputy Chairman Sezai Temelli. "THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE IS THE GOVERNMENT" Our expectation is that Öcalan will make a statement in an environment where the restrictions on him have been lifted and he has gained political freedoms. Of course, this is our expectation. But the authority to decide how this will take shape is, of course, the government. Therefore, I think the government will make the statement regarding this themselves. No date has been announced yet. We are waiting."
WHAT HAD HAPPENED? Yesterday, speaking at his party's group meeting, DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan announced that the terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan would make a "historic call" in the coming days. Bakırhan said, "Öcalan is preparing to make a historic call in the coming days. He will make this historic call in a short time. We consider this call important, we support it, and we stand behind it. We also call on the government to play its role appropriately in line with this historic call. Mr. Bahçeli is not the head of the executive. A big step falls to Erdoğan, who is at the head of the executive. The ball is now in Erdoğan's court," he said.
