It would have been better if they hadn't revealed it

They try to push the narrative to our people, puffing their chests out, saying "there is no bargaining going on," but they were badly exposed when Zagros Hiwa, the spokesperson for the terrorist organization KCK, declared PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan as the "chief negotiator" in the "peace talks."

This means there is a "negotiation" underway, or at least a "negotiation process" being planned.

Otherwise, why would they make such a statement out of the blue?

According to the Turkish Language Association dictionary, negotiation means exchanging ideas on a subject; consulting...

In other words, if the government gives the green light, an official from the Republic of Turkey will sit face-to-face with Abdullah Öcalan to exchange ideas!

Don't say, "That wouldn't happen!"

No one expected Bahçeli, who yesterday threw a noose at Tayyip Erdoğan from the parliamentary podium demanding that Abdullah Öcalan be hanged, to declare the terrorist leader a "peace dove" today.

But it happened; he caught everyone off guard.

Now, let's rewind the tape a bit.

Tuncer Bakırhan of the DEM Party had fired the signal flare five days before Bahçeli pressed the button, saying, "The chief negotiator of this issue is Mr. Öcalan. Open the doors of Imralı so that Mr. Öcalan's thoughts can meet the public."

But at that time, because the "process" had not yet become clear, this statement remained in the air. Now we understand that the main outlines of the issue were already set.

It seems as if they will be sitting at the table directly with Abdullah Öcalan within a short time.

It is hard to say whether those in power will kick the ball into touch at the last minute, but God forbid, what will happen if the DEM members come out and say, "Forget about the presidency"?

These statements are just warm-up exercises before the game begins...

Even if they cannot easily make our people accept it, they want to at least create a sense of familiarity regarding their demands.

Those in power were worried about "losing votes" during the previous opening/process.

This time it is different.

Let's underline this with a thick pen. They don't have such a concern now.

There is only Tayyip Erdoğan's own agenda on the table.

However, he also knows that he no longer has the public support he once had. The arrest of İmamoğlu, the pressure on the CHP, and the imprisonment of anyone who speaks out or calls for rights, law, and justice are all for this reason.

Let's intimidate them so much that no one dares to make a move!

As far as it appears, he doesn't really care about this side of the issue. Since there is no election in the near future, if things go well, he changes the constitution, and secures his seat, it won't matter much whether the people stood behind him or not, or whether they supported him or not.

The whole point is to play along until you cross the bridge, but whether a country will remain in its current state after crossing the bridge is unknown.

However, the situation has become unbearable for our people.

We all witnessed how the cup overflowed after İmamoğlu was sentenced.

Palace sycophants, trolls, incorrigible enemies of the republic, fake leftists, and the like are now trying to create a festive atmosphere, claiming the PKK has laid down its arms and dissolved itself, so that the people do not take to the streets again.

You never know, this is Turkey...

They are trying to manipulate people's minds. But perception operations only go so far. They are aware that if the tide turns, they could be left out in the cold.

Whatever they say, whatever they do, no matter how many somersaults they turn, the statement made after the PKK's 12th Congress is completely unacceptable.

They declared Turks to be genocidal and took the issue all the way back to the Treaty of Sèvres.

If they had cut it short at the very beginning by saying that the statements made by the terrorist organization are null and void, there would have been no issue. But because they tied the constitutional process, which is of critical importance to them, to this statement, they were forced to engage with them.

No matter how much the government tries to hide it from eyes and attention, the spear no longer fits in the sack with the statements of the organization's leaders.

For example, Murat Karayılan and Duran Kalkan openly called for a confederation. It is clear that this is their agenda.

Let's say Abdullah Öcalan becomes the "chief negotiator" and sits at the table with our people. Then, let us ask our ten-point question: Are they going to negotiate how Turkey will be transformed into a confederation? We leave the answer to the discernment of our readers and put a period to our article.
