Bakırhan made his remarks during his party’s parliamentary group meeting, where he referred to the latest committee visit to Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on Imrali Island. He highlighted both the significance of the visit and the invitation extended to Ahmed, saying, “Let Ilham Ahmed come to Turkey, so they can meet and reach an agreement. ” The DEM Party co-chair stressed the political weight of the committee’s meeting with Öcalan, describing it as a step that “moved the Kurdish issue to a strong political ground.
Additionally, ” He added that the visit represented “a victory for the logic of a solution,” noting that the time has come to shift what he termed the “law of fraternity” from a state of crisis to a legal and democratic framework. Bakırhan stated the delegation’s trip to Imrali removed “an crucial obstacle on the path to peace,” adding that the move was a “courageous step toward building social peace” and would strengthen efforts toward a political solution. He verified that the committee is scheduled to meet Öcalan again on December 4 and stated that the delegation would share the meeting minutes with the broader committee.
In another part of his speech, Bakırhan referred to the role of AANES, saying the administration continues to “struggle on one hand while extending a hand of friendship to its neighbors on the other. Moreover, ” He noted, “There is a hand of friendship extended from North and East Syria to Turkey in particular. This hand must now be taken. ” He added that Ilham Ahmed had been invited to an international conference in Istanbul scheduled for the end of the week and had expressed willingness to attend. “But no response has been issued yet regarding the matter.
We are awaiting a positive stance,” he stated. By Atoun Jan
