Van Independent MP Aysel Tuðluk said the followings; "If necessary, we will no doubt do our best to solve this crisis as we have done years ago when we commit ourselves to obtain a positive solution of the crisis concerning six soldiers who had been captured. Despite the cases and investigations conducted against us afterwards, we are once again ready to make any necessary effort and play our role if the need arises."

Remarking that they would act if required to do so, BDP Batman MP Bengi Yýldýz said; "Our party has always played its role when similar events happened but despite all our peaceful efforts and the positive reactions from the public opinion, the government and certain political circles evaluated our commitment has unfavorable. So, in order to take any step, we first need to be sure we are required to do so. We will act only if a request in this sense come from the government."
