Öcalan and İmralı take center stage in AKP field report: What is the status of support for the reconciliation process?

AKP sources have provided assessments regarding field studies concerning the second reconciliation process, referred to as 'Terror-Free Turkey.'

AKP sources stated that they have been conducting public opinion polls since the beginning of the process, noting: "We have been commissioning surveys on this issue from the very beginning. Support, which was at 60-70 percent at the start of the process, has now exceeded 80 percent. We have observed this personally in the field. However, claims regarding granting status to Öcalan in relation to the process or the construction of a villa on İmralı naturally draw backlash."

STATEMENT REGARDING THE ARRANGEMENT ON İMRALI

It was reported that AKP members are also providing information to citizens in the field in response to these reports.

In this context, it was stated that citizens are being informed that a workspace and accommodation area have been created within the prison complex on İmralı.

ECONOMIC COMPLAINTS ALSO ON THE AGENDA

It was stated that complaints regarding the economy also came to the fore during the field studies.

AKP officials indicated that they received intense complaints, particularly regarding pensions and the cost of living. It was reported that farmers complained about high production costs due to diesel prices.

Indefinite alimony was also among the issues occasionally raised by citizens during the field studies.

REPORT TO BE PRESENTED TO ERDOĞAN

It was stated that the findings obtained from the AKP's field studies are expected to be compiled into a report and presented to AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
