"When is the second İmralı meeting? Statement from the DEM Party delegation."

It is wondered when the DEM Party delegation, which met with terrorist leader Öcalan after a 4.5-year hiatus, will make its second visit to İmralı.

TBMM Deputy Speaker and Istanbul MP Sırrı Süreyya Önder, who is part of the DEM Party İmralı Delegation, responded to Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç's statement that no request has yet been made for a second meeting in İmralı, and that it will be evaluated if a request comes.

A WRITTEN STATEMENT WILL BE MADE ON FRIDAY

Önder stated that they will apply for the second İmralı visit as soon as possible within the next week. The DEM Party İmralı Delegation will also make a written statement regarding the "works" carried out so far on Friday, January 17.

HOW DID THE İMRALI PROCESS BEGIN?

The process began with the call made by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli on October 22. In his statement at the party's group meeting, Bahçeli said, "If the terrorist leader's isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the TBMM DEM Party Group Meeting, proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and that the organization has been dissolved. If he shows this determination and resolve, the legal regulation regarding the use of the 'right to hope' should be made, and his access to it should be opened wide." Shortly after this statement, Bahçeli called for permission to be granted to the DEM Party delegation to go to İmralı.

On November 26, the DEM Party applied to the Ministry of Justice to meet with terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan in İmralı. On December 27, Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç announced that a positive response had been given to the DEM Party's request for a meeting. Following the permission, the DEM Party delegation met with terrorist leader Öcalan in İmralı on December 28 after a 4.5-year hiatus.
