Discussions continue regarding the new reconciliation process, of which MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli is the architect.
When asked, "How would you evaluate it if a request for an appointment came from the DEM Party co-chairs?" IYI Party leader Müsavat Dervişoğlu replied, "There is no request that has been conveyed to us yet. I don't know; I can answer by seeing what happens. At that time, such an invitation was expected, but the messengers from Imralı were demanding of us. We did not accept that unauthorized delegation."
This response from Dervişoğlu was interpreted as "The IYI Party has not closed the door to the DEM Party."
According to a report by Cumhuriyet, IYI Party officials emphasized that there has been no request for a meeting from the DEM Party and stressed that the party's determination against the Imralı process continues.
Stating that Dervişoğlu prioritizes "common sense," party sources indicated that such a topic would not be brought to the agenda in meetings with the party's authorized boards unless a request is received from the DEM Party.
