Kısa Dalga columnist Ayşe Yıldırım reported that PKK terrorist organization leader Öcalan proposed the establishment of a Resolution Commission in Parliament and emphasized that conducting the process solely with the government would not be sufficient.
The DEM Party delegation is continuing its meetings initiated within this framework.
DIPLOMATIC TRAFFIC FROM DEM
A delegation from the DEM Party, consisting of Sırrı Süreyya Önder, Pervin Buldan, and Ahmet Türk, met with Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) Numan Kurtulmuş and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli in recent days.
The delegation will continue its meetings with other political party leaders next week.
While the details of the meetings have not been disclosed to the public, what is being discussed behind the scenes has emerged.
THE TBMM WILL BE THE CENTER OF THE PROCESS
According to reports from behind the scenes, unlike previous processes, Öcalan emphasized that the solution should not be carried out solely with the government, but with the participation of all state institutions, social opposition, and political parties in Parliament.
Öcalan pointed to the TBMM as the address for the solution to the DEM Party delegation.
Yıldırım stated that Öcalan proposed the formation of a Resolution Commission in Parliament where all political parties are represented. It was stated that this proposal by Öcalan also guided the meetings of the DEM delegation.
DISCUSSIONS ON THE RIGHT TO HOPE
Another important topic of discussion regarding the content of the meetings was Öcalan's "right to hope" and amnesty demands.
According to the behind-the-scenes information reported by Kısa Dalga, Öcalan did not bring up the demand for the amnesty of approximately 4,750 PKK detainees and convicts, which he had voiced in previous processes, during this meeting.
Instead, Öcalan gave the following response to the DEM delegation's request for the right to hope on his behalf:
"My own conditions should not be made a subject of bargaining. Instead, the struggle should be for the elimination of the conditions that caused me to be here."
