Abdullah Öcalan's lawyers have applied to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to meet with their client.

Lawyers of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan; Nevroz Uysal, Faik Özgür Erol, Cengiz Yürekli and Mazlum Dinç have applied to Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to meet with their client on Tuesday.

The appeals of the lawyers for a meeting with Öcalan have gone unanswered since August 7.

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.
