Pervin Buldan calls on Parliament to take action after the PKK declaration

“The struggle that the Kurdish people have been waging for years must now ensure the democratization of Turkey without delay and be crowned with peace," said Pervin Buldan, a member of the DEM Party İmralı Delegation.

Following the PKK's cessation of all activities, Pervin Buldan, a member of the DEM Party İmralı Delegation, called on Parliament to take action.

Speaking to the Mesopotamia Agency, Pervin Buldan said, “This is a historic development. The end of the ongoing conflict in Turkey also means that democratization will now begin.”

Pervin Buldan stated that a new phase was beginning now, i.e. the democratization of Turkey: “The struggle that the Kurdish people have been waging for years must now ensure the democratization of Turkey without delay and be crowned with peace.”

Buldan continued: “During this period, we need to clear the obstacles and remove the barriers. The only thing we need to do right now is to fight for this because the parties have already made their decision. The PKK has made its decision and has entered a new phase. In this phase, everyone has different responsibilities and duties. We all need to fulfill these duties and responsibilities.”

Noting that Abdullah Öcalan must be involved in order for the PKK congress decisions to be implemented, Buldan said, “Mr. Öcalan will play a significant role in shaping democratic politics. Therefore, the continuation of talks, the improvement of Mr. Öcalan's conditions, visit by different groups to İmralı Island, and discussions about peace with Mr. Öcalan are necessary.”

Calling on the Parliament to take action, Pervin Buldan said: “The Parliament has great responsibilities in this regard. Certain laws must be passed, certain amendments must be made to the laws... I am talking about democratization because there are major injustices in Turkey. There have been great injustices in every sense. They have been experienced by the Kurdish people, the democratic segment of society, the opposition, workers, and politicians. All of this must be remedied. For this to happen, the parliament must step in. Of course, I am not hopeless on this matter, but we need a little time. I believe that everyone must fulfill their responsibilities in the very near future.”
