The call made by Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli for Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the terrorist organization PKK, continues to maintain its place on the political agenda.
Despite nearly 20 days having passed since Bahçeli's call, the silence of AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continues.
While this situation has led to interpretations that Erdoğan was not informed about the call in question, what is being discussed behind the scenes in the AKP has emerged.
CONFUSION IN THE AKP
According to a report by Gazete Duvar, it has been learned that there is confusion within the AKP regarding Bahçeli's call.
According to many AKP members who do not know how to take a stance due to Erdoğan maintaining his silence and not taking a clear position, the problem is not in Bahçeli's rhetoric, but in the speed of the rhetoric.
Many figures in the AKP state that although the majority of political parties have given positive messages, the public is very far from a 'process'.
It is noted that Erdoğan is also avoiding making a statement because he is gauging this pulse, which shows that society is distant from the process. Noting that it would not be right to view issues only through the eyes of politicians, the AKP says, "We have to listen to the citizens, measure their situation and attitude, and act accordingly."
"THIS SPEED IS NOT RIGHT"
Behind the scenes, it is said: "There is a difference between politicians and the public. Most of the parties did not categorically oppose the call, but the voters were uncomfortable. This speed is not right. A process should have been operated that progresses step by step, where all parties are gradually included, and the concerns and anxieties of society are addressed. This important step by Bahçeli cannot be set aside, but what needs to be done for both the adaptation of state institutions and the preparation of society should be considered. Steps should be taken at this point."
