"The meeting between DEM Party Imralı Delegation Member and our Deputy Speaker of the Assembly Sırrı Süreyya Önder and the Chairman of the Homeland Party, Doğu Perinçek, took place with the knowledge of our party and the Imralı Delegation. The meeting was conducted as part of visits made to various dynamics of society, primarily political parties, civil society organizations, and personalities, regarding the process aimed at finding a solution in Imralı. Such contacts carried out with the knowledge of our party organs are made considering the political dynamics of the period.

"PRESENTING IT AS AN INDEPENDENT INITIATIVE DOES NOT REFLECT THE TRUTH"

In the meeting held upon Perinçek's request, the content of the evaluations regarding the process has been conveyed to the relevant committees of our party. The way the meeting has been presented by certain circles to the public as a personal or independent initiative does not reflect the truth."

WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

Doğu Perinçek, the Chairman of the Homeland Party, claimed that he visited them on the day Sırrı Süreyya Önder was taken to the hospital, stating, "Mr. Sırrı Süreyya Önder came to visit us on the day he experienced heart problems. They had requested an appointment before, and we accepted. During our meeting, he said: 'Abdullah Öcalan told me and Pervin Buldan, "America and Israel can kill you." Since these words have now been confirmed by Kandil, I see no harm in sharing them with the public. America and Israel are against this process. Öcalan has personally told them that Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Pervin Buldan, who play an active role in this process, could be targeted. Kandil also confirms these statements." he had stated.
