Will the DEM Party meet with İmralı? New statement from Minister Tunç.

The Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, made a call regarding terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan during his speech at the party's parliamentary group meeting on October 22, stating, "If the isolation of the terrorist leader is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party group meeting in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, proclaiming that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been dissolved. If he shows this determination and resolve, the legal arrangement regarding the use of the right to hope should be made, and the way for him to benefit from it should be opened wide." Bahçeli's words stirred political circles, and the question of "is a new resolution process beginning" that arose after shaking hands with DEM Party members at the opening of the new legislative year on October 1 began to be discussed more vigorously.

APPLICATION FROM DEM PARTY

Following Bahçeli's call, DEM Party deputies, along with an international delegation that included politicians, unionists, and journalists, made an official application to the Ministry of Justice for the termination of the "isolation" on İmralı Island and a request to meet with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan.

NEW STATEMENT FROM MINISTER TUNÇ

Regarding the DEM Party's application, Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç stated, "The DEM Party's request for a meeting reached our Ministry of Justice last week. A response will be given within a reasonable time."
