MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli's 'new opening' process, which he announced at his party group meeting, has become the most important agenda item in domestic politics recently.
In the statements he made at his party's group meeting, MHP leader Bahçeli addressed PKK leader Öcalan, saying, 'Let him come out and speak at the DEM Party group, let him announce that he has dissolved the PKK, and in return, let him benefit from the right to hope.'
Following these statements, Bahçeli stated that he stood by his words, igniting the fuse for a new opening process.
Following these developments, messages of support for Bahçeli also came from President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the DEM Party.
Finally, DEM Party members Pervin Buldan and Sırrı Süreyya Önder held a meeting with PKK terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan at İmralı.
Following the meeting, the DEM Party issued a written statement using the following expressions:
Strengthening Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood carries a fate-determining importance for all peoples.
It is essential for political circles in Turkey to stay away from narrow calculations and offer constructive and positive contributions.
The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) will be the most important ground for these contributions.
Events in Gaza and Syria have laid bare the insolubility of problems deepened by external interventions.
Öcalan stated that he is ready to offer positive contributions to the new paradigm supported by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Finally, new allegations were made regarding the DEM Party's meeting with the MHP.
Here are the 3 requests DEM demanded from the government...
AMNESTY DEMAND
According to a report by Rudaw, DEM Party deputies Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Pervin Buldan, who 'briefed' MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli after their visit to İmralı, requested that a regulation regarding a general amnesty be made in Parliament.
THE ISSUE OF TRUSTEES
Önder and Buldan requested that the MHP tie the appointment of trustees not to Ministry of Interior decisions, but to finalized judicial rulings.
AMEND THE ANTI-TERROR LAW
The DEM Party also conveyed its demand for an amendment to the Anti-Terror Law to Bahçeli.
