Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan met with his nephew, Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM) Urfa (Riha) MP Ömer Öcalan, after 43 months of total isolation.

Ömer Öcalan said on his Twitter account: "The last face-to-face meeting with Mr. Abdullah Öcalan was on 3 March 2020. As a family, we finally met with Mr. Öcalan years later, on 23 October 2024. We want routine family visits, which are a legal right, to continue regardless of the circumstances."
