The Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) MPs Pervin Buldan and Sırrı Süreyya Önder held a second meeting with Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in İmralı F Type High Security Closed Prison today. The meeting lasted 4 hours.

It is reported that the delegation will make a written statement about the meeting tomorrow.

On 28 December 2023, Sırrı Süreyya Önder and Pervin Buldan visited Abdullah Öcalan in İmralı Island Prison in the Sea of Marmara. During the visit, the Kurdish leader conveyed messages aimed at finding a solution.

The delegation conveyed the general framework of Öcalan's thoughts and approach as follows:

- Strengthening the Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood once again is not only a historic responsibility but also a matter of critical urgency and significance for all peoples.

- For the process to succeed, it is essential that all political groups in Turkey take initiative without getting caught up in narrow, short-term interests, act constructively, and contribute positively. One of the key platforms for these contributions will undoubtedly be the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM).

- The events in Gaza and Syria have shown that the resolution of this issue, which external interventions attempt to turn into a chronic problem, can no longer be delayed. The contributions and proposals of the opposition are also crucial for achieving a solution proportional to the seriousness of this issue.

- I possess the necessary competence and determination to provide the required positive contribution to the new paradigm supported by Mr. Bahçeli and Mr. Erdoğan.

- The delegation will share my perspective with both the state and political circles. In this context, I am ready to take the necessary positive steps and issue a call.

- All these efforts will elevate the country to the level it deserves and will also serve as a valuable guide for democratic transformation.

- This is a time for peace, democracy, and brotherhood for Turkey and the region."
