MHP Leader Bahçeli Responds to Öcalan’s Call
During his party’s group meeting today, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli responded to CHP leader Özgür Özel’s comments regarding PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan. Bahçeli expressed his stance on the issue, stating that if the isolation measures are lifted, Öcalan should come to the TBMM and speak at the DEM Party meeting, declaring the end of terrorism and the dissolution of the organization.
Bahçeli emphasized that behind closed doors, negotiations are taking place, and promises are being made. He pointed out that the proposal to lift the isolation on Öcalan and allow him to address the parliament, as well as make a call for the organization to lay down arms, is within the authority of the TBMM. He highlighted the significance of any efforts aimed at ending terrorism in the country and bringing peace.
However, Bahçeli also cautioned against attributing too much power and authority to the individual making these proposals. He mentioned the past manipulations of emotions and spreading of false information to create fear among the public. Bahçeli urged people to see through the rhetoric and consider the broader implications of the actions being proposed.
In response to the call for Öcalan to speak at the TBMM, Bahçeli emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach involving all political parties to address the issue effectively. He stressed the importance of consensus among all parties, prioritizing the interests of the entire nation over individual agendas.
Bahçeli also raised concerns about the underlying motives behind the recent developments, suggesting a hidden agenda that does not prioritize the country’s well-being. He called for transparency, accountability, and a unified effort to address the root causes of the ongoing challenges.
Regarding the recent scandal involving the “Yenidoğan Çetesi,” Bahçeli expressed outrage and called for the immediate resignation of Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu. He condemned the actions of the criminal gang that exploited newborn babies for financial gain, causing immense harm and distress to families.
Bahçeli highlighted the need for a thorough investigation into the scandal and emphasized the importance of holding those responsible accountable. He criticized the government’s health policies, which have led to a significant increase in private hospitals and a higher infant mortality rate compared to other OECD countries.
In light of these developments, Bahçeli called for a complete overhaul of the Health Ministry and the Social Security Institution, emphasizing the importance of merit-based appointments and a commitment to ensuring public health and safety.
In conclusion, Bahçeli reiterated his commitment to fighting corruption, protecting the most vulnerable members of society, and upholding the principles of justice and integrity. He urged all political parties to work together to address the challenges facing the country and to prioritize the well-being of all citizens.
Overall, Bahçeli’s response to Öcalan’s call and his stance on the recent scandals demonstrate a firm commitment to transparency, accountability, and ensuring the welfare of the Turkish people. His words reflect a dedication to upholding democratic values and fighting against corruption and injustice.
