During the opening of the Turkish parliament's new legislative year, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli sent greetings to Abdullah Öcalan, the founder of the PKK, via a DEM Party delegation.
During a reception marking the new legislative year at the Grand National Assembly, Devlet Bahçeli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), conveyed greetings to Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Bahçeli extended these remarks to members of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) delegation, including Pervin Buldan.
This gesture occurred amidst a backdrop of political tensions and the opening of Parliament. Bahçeli's acknowledgment of Öcalan, a figure central to the Kurdish conflict, signals a complex dynamic within Turkish politics. The DEM Party interpreted the move as a reaffirmation of Öcalan's significant role in Kurdish affairs.
