Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, in his speech at his party's group meeting, issued a call regarding Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the terrorist organization PKK: "If his isolation is lifted, let him come and speak at the DEM Party group meeting in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Let him shout that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been liquidated."

Not stopping there, Bahçeli also requested that the terrorist leader Öcalan benefit from the 'right to hope'.

POST ON 'RIGHT TO HOPE' FROM MHP'S YILDIZ

Yıldız also made a post regarding the 'right to hope' that Bahçeli mentioned for the terrorist leader Öcalan.

"New concepts have entered modern criminal law over time. 

One of these concepts is the 'Right to Hope,' or the right of a convict to hope for release.

This concept is used to express the right of a convict sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment to expect to be released one day."
