The phone call between MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş, who is being held in Edirne Prison, dropped like a bombshell on the agenda yesterday. Beyond the content of the conversation, how it was conducted also became a subject of curiosity.
The story behind the phone call between Demirtaş and Bahçeli has emerged. Yıldıray Oğur of Serbestiyet wrote that Selahattin Demirtaş's wife, Başak Demirtaş, underwent surgery in Istanbul on Friday, February 28, and that Selahattin Demirtaş had applied to the Ministry of Justice to travel to Istanbul to be by his wife's side during the surgery.
Oğur reported that the request in question was fulfilled upon the instruction of President Erdoğan, that Demirtaş came to Istanbul for his wife's surgery on Friday, February 28, and that Bahçeli called him during this time to say "get well soon."
During the conversation, Bahçeli also thanked Demirtaş for his support of the process, specifically referencing the "May God grant you a long life" expression in the article Demirtaş wrote following Öcalan's call.
