Ahmet Davutoğlu evaluates Öcalan's call

Following their meeting with PKK terrorist organization leader Öcalan, the Imralı delegation held a press conference in Istanbul and read the long-awaited call text.

In the text, which was read first in Kurdish and then in Turkish, Öcalan called for the PKK to lay down its arms. The call included the statement: "All groups must lay down their arms and the PKK must dissolve itself."

Future Party Chairman Ahmet Davutoğlu issued a statement on his social media account regarding the call from PKK terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan and the Imralı process.

Davutoğlu included the following remarks in his post:

“In conditions where the international system is being shaken and our region is within a ring of fire, every call made and every step taken toward strengthening our country's internal structure and completely purging it of terrorism is positive.

To implement this call, a concrete, results-oriented roadmap must be established by learning lessons from past experiences. This process must be conducted on the floor of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), which is the ultimate manifestation of the national will, with the pluralistic contributions of all political parties and social segments.”
