Speaking at a press conference in Parliament on Monday, the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) Group Deputy Chair Gülistan Kılıç Koçyiğit said that their delegation will hold the third meeting with Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan in imralı Island Prison in a few days.

“We expect the relevant application to be made within a few days, today or tomorrow. Preparations are being finalized. During the visit to İmralı, information about the visits and discussions, especially about those in Southern Kurdistan (Northern Iraq), will be conveyed to Mr. Öcalan. After this meeting, the timetable for the historic call to be made with Mr. Öcalan will also be clarified. It will be the beginning of a new era on the path to a solution to the Kurdish question. We know that there will be a historic call. We underline that the practices that undermine and poison this ground on which the Turkish and Kurdish alliance will be re-established, and that the practices that hamper this ground must be condemned first and foremost by politics and society,” Koçyiğit stated.

“ I would like to call on the Parliament to assume responsibility following this historic call, and to get to work as soon as possible for legal arrangements that will fulfill the requirements of this call,” the DEM Party politician added.
