Following Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli shaking hands with DEM Party deputies, his call to terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan to "declare that his organization will be unilaterally liquidated" continues to maintain its place on the agenda.
AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's statement that "Bahçeli shaking hands with the DEM Party Co-Chairs is an important step" and DEM Party Istanbul Deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder thanking Erdoğan and Bahçeli have fueled discussions of a 'new solution process'.
Bahçeli's handshake with DEM Party members and his call were also welcomed within the AKP.
An AKP executive, who described Bahçeli's statements as "very positive," explained the advantages this would provide to the party, assessing that, "Bahçeli taking one step means we take ten steps. It will have positive returns, especially in terms of Kurdish voters. Voter transition will increase."
