Lawyers of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, Serbay Köklü, Ibrahim Bilmez, Raziye Turgut and Rezan Sarıca applied to Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to meet with their clients.

No response was given to any of the lawyers' requests for visit since 7 August.

Öcalan's lawyers Rezan Sarıca and Nevroz Uysal met with their client on 2 May, 22 May, 12 June, 18 June and 7 August after 8 years.

During the meeting with his lawyers on 7 August, Öcalan said the following; "I am trying to open a space for the Kurds. Let's solve the Kurdish question. I can eliminate the matter and possibility of conflict within a week. I am ready for a solution, I trust myself. But the state as well as the mind behind it must do the necessary, too.”

On the other hand, families of Abdullah Öcalan and other prisoners in Imralı Island Prison; Hamili Yıldırım, Ömer Hayri Konar and Veysi Aktaş, were allowed access to the island prison on 12 August on occasion of Eid al-Adha.
