The co-chair of the DEM Party, Tuncer Bakırhan, spoke about the footage of him shaking hands with MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli in the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Bakırhan stated, "I was surprised to see Bahçeli in front of me. What Bahçeli said was very valuable. The President has not engaged with this issue for a long time."
On October 1st, during the opening of the new legislative year of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, the handshake between MHP Leader Bahçeli and DEM Party members remained a significant topic in the political agenda for a long time. DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan spoke about the handshake moment and the events that followed in a YouTube broadcast he attended this evening.
"WHAT HE SAID WAS VERY VALUABLE"
Bakırhan used the following expressions:
"You know Turkish politics, insults under the guise of criticism. I was surprised to see Bahçeli in front of me. What Bahçeli said was very valuable. The President did not engage in this matter for a long time.
Other key points from the Co-Chair's statements during the broadcast were as follows:
"I AGREE WITH BAHÇELİ ON TWO ISSUES"
I agree with Devlet Bahçeli on two issues. The correct address regarding the solution is Öcalan. Secondly, what he stated about the issue of isolation is also true. I agree."
"ÖCALAN IS ONE OF THE MOST CORRECT ADDRESSES"
As for Öcalan's power, we have nothing to weigh or measure how much power he has. But as someone who has been in active politics for 34 years, I can say: Öcalan's power is at a very high level. I believe Öcalan is one of the most correct addresses for the solution to this issue.
"CHP HAS BEEN COMPLETELY AGAINST THE SOLUTION UNTIL NOW"
The ground was not like this before. Until now, the CHP has been completely against the resolution of this issue. MHP was making the strongest opposition. The ground in Turkey was not like this.
