Following their visit, the families confirmed that a fire had broken out on Imralı Island and they observed their relatives to be in good condition and not affected by the fire.

During the mentioned meeting, Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan said: "Everything depends on your struggle. If you do nothing, the isolation and bloodshed will continue. Nobody will come and solve the problem for you.”
