On December 28, Saturday, while the DEM Party delegation continued its political party visits, Deputy Co-Chair Tayip Temel made striking statements during a live broadcast on Halk TV after meeting with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan in Imralı. STRIKING DETAILS ABOUT THE MEETING IN IMRALITemel stated that the former co-chair of HDP, Selahattin Demirtaş, who is imprisoned in Edirne Prison, was also on the agenda during the meeting in Imralı, saying, "In the discussion about the delegation in Imralı, Abdullah Öcalan emphasized Selahattin Demirtaş significantly. This emphasis is as follows: He has undoubtedly expressed his will to support and be involved in this process. Both Demirtaş, Leyla Güven, and Figen Yüksekdağ are at the center of this process. If this process develops, they will be the winners; if it does not develop, they will continue to be the victims," he stated. BAHÇELİ ALSO DENIED THE CLAIMTemel denied the claim that MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli intervened when Selahattin Demirtaş's name was mentioned during the meeting with the DEM Party delegation. Temel stated, "There has never been a remark regarding Demirtaş in the meeting with Bahçeli. This is definitely a speculation. While we have been discussing for a long time what the solution to the problem would lead to, Selahattin Demirtaş and our other friends have important roles to play. Demirtaş is a significant actor right in the middle of this discussion. No one should have any doubt about that," he said.
