Date set for 'new call' from terrorist organization leader Öcalan: DEM Party delegation to read the message

It is claimed that Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the PKK terrorist organization, will issue a new call on February 27, the anniversary of his "Peace and Democratic Society" call made last year. According to the claim, following the adoption of the process report by the commission last week, a message from Öcalan stating, "The first phase is complete, the second phase has begun," is expected. 

Öcalan, the leader of the PKK terrorist organization to whom Bahçeli had addressed a call to "end terrorist activities and dissolve the organization," announced on February 27, 2025, that the PKK should disband and all groups should lay down their arms.

Öcalan's call included the following statements: "In this climate created by the call made by Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, the will put forward by the President, and the positive approaches of other political parties toward the aforementioned call, I am issuing a call to lay down arms and I am assuming the historical responsibility of this call."

The process accelerated with a symbolic disarmament ceremony by the PKK on July 11, months after this call, and the subsequent establishment of the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission in Parliament on August 5, 2025. 

Most recently, in the process that the government has named "a Turkey without terrorism," the joint report of the commission, which includes the political parties in Parliament, was adopted. 

Following the adoption of the process report last week, eyes have turned to Parliament for legislative arrangements.

Today, a critical claim was put forward following the meeting of Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş with the leaders of the MHP, DHP, and DEM Party to discuss both the process report and the steps to be taken after the report.

In a report by Uğraş Bingöl from NTV, it was claimed that a message from Öcalan stating, "The first phase is complete, the second phase has begun," would arrive on the anniversary of the February 27 call.

It was suggested that the message would be read by a DEM Party delegation in Ankara.
