The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, made a call regarding PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, stating, "He should come and join the ranks in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) and declare that he has laid down his arms, proclaiming that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been dissolved." In response, Mehmet Öcalan, the terrorist leader's brother, commented, "I hope there can be something good for everyone. No one should deceive anyone. If there is a beautiful peace in a democratic way, we would be happy about that as well. It is uncertain what will happen."
MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made a statement that will shake up the agenda of Ankara at his party's group meeting. Speaking about the leader of the terrorist organization PKK, Abdullah Öcalan, Bahçeli said, "If the isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party Group Meeting in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved."
MEHMET ÖCALAN, BROTHER OF PKK LEADER: I DON'T KNOW, IT'S A STEP In response to Bahçeli's statements, Abdullah Öcalan's brother, Mehmet Öcalan, spoke to Odatv. Mehmet Öcalan stated that Devlet Bahçeli has been bringing this issue to the agenda for two weeks in a row. Mehmet Öcalan said: "For two weeks in a row, Devlet Bahçeli has been raising this issue. I don't know, it's a step. I don't know how it will shape. We hope it will be good. Yes, Bahçeli is speaking, it is true that he is speaking.
Mehmet Öcalan "NO ONE SHOULD DECEIVE ANYONE" But there has been no word from Abdullah Öcalan for 4 years, in isolation. All communication with his lawyers has been cut off. I don't know, maybe he is speaking on the island. We cannot know. We hope that good things can happen for everyone. No one should deceive anyone. If there is a beautiful peace in a democratic way, we would be happy about it. What will happen is uncertain. We hope it will be good.
"(Imralı) We have no knowledge of what is happening there. 4 years have passed, and we are entering the 5th year. I believe the state is aware. The lawyers and the family are not aware."
BAHÇELİ: LET THE TERRORIST LEADER COME AND ANNOUNCE IN THE GRAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THAT HE HAS LAID DOWN HIS ARMS Bahçeli said the following at the group meeting: "The terrorist leader who said he is ready for all kinds of service when brought to Turkey should come and announce that terrorism has ended. There were those who did not understand this call and tried to distort it. Let him come and join the DEM ranks in the Grand National Assembly and announce that he has laid down his arms, let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved. If he shows this determination, the way for the legal regulation regarding the use of the right to hope will be opened wide. We are determined to take every step, we believe. Let’s empty our baggage on the basis of a new century, new life, and achieve national goals together."
