Zafer Party Spokesperson Karamahmutoğlu's 'I thought there was no bargaining' outburst: Reaction to DEM's Bakırhan

Having previously expressed opposition to 'bargaining' within the commission for a terror-free Turkey, the Zafer Party has now voiced a similar reaction regarding the remarks of DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan.

Karamahmutoğlu reacted to DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan's statement, "You cannot keep Öcalan imprisoned in a 12-square-meter cell from this point on," by making the following statement on his social media account:

DEM Leader Tuncer Bakırhan says: "You cannot keep Öcalan imprisoned in a 12-square-meter cell from this point on."

Why, Bakırhan? What happened, was there an amnesty? Has he been released? Or did the Turkish army lose a battle? Did the Turkish military lose a war? Or did you emerge victorious? Did you win in the armed struggle, the ideological struggle, or the political struggle?

On what basis can we no longer keep Öcalan in a 12-square-meter cell from this point on?

I thought there was no bargaining?

DEM Lideri Tuncay Bakırhan diyor ki: “Öcalan'ı bu saatten sonra 12 metrekarelik bir hücreye hapsedemezsiniz.”

Neden Bakırhan? Ne oldu, bir af mı çıktı? Salıverildi mi? Yoksa Türk ordusu bir muharebe mi kaybetti? Türk askeri bir savaşı mı kaybetti? Yoksa siz galip mi geldiniz?…
