The DEM Party Imrali Delegation, consisting of Pervin Buldan, Mithat Sancar, and Özgür Faik Erol, shared the results of their morning meeting with Abdullah Öcalan in a written statement.

The statement included the following remarks: Today, as a delegation, we held a very productive meeting with Mr. Abdullah Öcalan at Imrali Prison, which lasted two and a half hours.
Mr. Öcalan was in good health and spirits. In our meeting, he emphasized that the process is transitioning into a new phase. He stated that with the new steps to be taken, everyone, all of us, has responsibilities to fulfill the requirements of this process.
He stressed that he attaches great importance to the meeting our delegation members will have with the President and described this meeting as historic. Similarly, he underlined that the commission to be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey will also play a major role in peace and resolution.
We saw that his hope, confidence, and faith in this process contributing as a whole to Turkey’s democratization are extremely strong.
During the meeting, we received information that soldiers lost their lives due to methane gas poisoning in the territory of the Kurdistan Regional Government today. This incident caused profound sorrow in Mr. Öcalan and in all of us. On this occasion, we wish God’s mercy upon those who lost their lives and extend our condolences to their families and loved ones.
