Claims that Öcalan attended the congress by phone: Statement from Pervin Buldan

Takvim, one of the media outlets close to the government, claimed that Abdullah Öcalan was brought to Ankara to undergo eye surgery and that he also participated in the congress, which the PKK announced had taken place, via a phone connection.

DEM Party member Pervin Buldan, who made a statement regarding the PKK's congress announcement, was asked about the aforementioned claim.

Buldan said, "A technical communication was likely established. I do not want to go into too much detail."

Buldan used the following expressions:

"A technical communication was likely established. I do not want to go into too much detail. Because a longer road awaits us. I think the statements we make must be made carefully. I think they should not harm the process. Therefore, we have to be careful while formulating our words until this process reaches complete success. When we look at the statements made, it is likely that a more detailed statement will be made in the coming days. The congress convened, but although there is no fully detailed statement yet, we expect a detailed statement in the coming days. However, even this is an important statement in itself. Therefore, I cannot pass without mentioning Sırrı Süreyya Önder in particular. I wish he could have seen this. I wish he could have witnessed these days. He put in a lot of effort. I am currently in Adıyaman for his funeral. We are honoring his spirit once again. We dedicate this to our President Sırrı."
