In a written statement issued after the meeting with Numan Kurtulmuş, the party stated: "During our meeting with Mr. Numan Kurtulmuş, we expressed that the law should have the character of a root law and should be of a nature that prepares the ground for the democratic resolution of the Kurdish issue and the democratization of Turkey. We reiterated the vital importance of ensuring the status of Mr. Abdullah Öcalan and conditions for his free work and communication within the framework law."
Emphasizing inclusivity, the Co-Chairs stated the following:
"We emphasized that the framework law, with its inclusive character, should provide the contribution to move the resolution of the Kurdish issue from a ground of conflict and violence to a legal and political ground.
We pointed out that a regulation that might reproduce the repetitions and clichés of the past would not be an answer to this process.
A framework law focused on peace and democratic resolution will be a remedy for our troubles. We expressed our sensitivity regarding the progress of the Peace and Democratic Society Process in a way that observes the interests of 86 million people and protects the dignity of everyone.
We emphasized that it is of vital importance to obtain the contributions of all political parties regarding the law. The democratic resolution of the century-old Kurdish issue is a matter that transcends political parties."
The statement continued as follows:
"We emphasized that as we move toward a democratic resolution of the Kurdish issue, the method of preparing the framework law should be inclusive, and that the mechanisms to be established during the implementation process of the law will contribute to the socialization of peace.
Our greatest wish and demand is that the framework law prepares the ground for democratic integration and produces a political climate and legal foundation that will increase democracy, law, and freedoms for everyone.
We reiterate our determination to bring the Peace and Democratic Society Process to success. We once again share with the public our satisfaction with Mr. Kurtulmuş's visit and his efforts."
