In the group meeting of Bahçeli's party, the call "If the terrorist leader's isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party group meeting, declare that terrorism has ended, and that the organization has been dissolved" continues to be discussed. Today, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who visited the Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ) facilities in Kahramankazan, which were attacked by PKK terrorists, responded to journalists' questions regarding the 'New Solution Process' by saying, "Öcalan can make his call from where he is, he doesn't necessarily have to come to the Parliament." "THE IDEA OF BRINGING ÖCALAN BELONGS TO MR. BAHÇELİ"After the visit, Özel answered journalists' questions, stating, "'We will not be part of any process that we cannot face the families of martyrs and veterans.' This is very clear. We support peace, we support disarmament. But the idea of bringing Abdullah Öcalan here belongs to Mr. Bahçeli. He should be asked about that. We have no such idea. Öcalan does not necessarily have to come to that podium to speak. Öcalan can make his call from where he is, if given the opportunity. No one should be used in these perception games just to politically undermine the CHP over such a simple issue," he said. "NO JOURNALIST ASKED THIS QUESTION"Özel responded to the question, "The President's silence regarding Mr. Bahçeli's call continues. He spoke about TUSAŞ but has remained silent on this call. How do you evaluate this?" with the following: "I am not the addressee of the question. There were no journalists on the plane, they did not ask this question. But journalists will definitely ask this question and you will get an answer from Erdoğan. I maintain my belief on that issue. I mean, I followed the news closely. He did not touch on this topic on the plane. They emphasized that no journalist asked this question. The children of those journalists will one day say, 'My father used to be a journalist and my late father.' When asked 'Who was he?' and his name is mentioned, they will say 'He was not a journalist' if this continues. Therefore, journalists should do their journalism, and politicians should do their politics. Beyond that, the evaluation; it is not me who will satisfy the curiosity of our people, our nation. I cannot speak on behalf of Erdoğan. Those who will contribute to satisfying that curiosity are you." "IT MUST BE REPULSED WITH COMMON WILL"Özel, in response to the question, "We are talking about a process that is also considered a solution process. After this terrorist attack on TUSAŞ, will this process enter a different phase?" said: "We do not yet know what kind of process it will be. Erdoğan should speak. Erdoğan, who speaks on every issue, should speak. The media that gives him a lot of space should do so. If Erdoğan starts talking in his sleep at night, those who go live should ask him this. Let’s know what we are talking about. But whatever the purpose of the attack on TUSAŞ is, it should be repulsed with our common will, I would like to say that."
