Abdullah father -in -law, a closed leader of the Kurdian separatist PKK, invited his movement to lay his hands and melt.
His statement, read in a letter from a MP from the Pro-Curric Party, was focused on the end of the four decades of armed struggle in the southeastern Turkey, which killed tens of thousands of people.
Father, 75, he met the MPS on Imral, an island in the sea of Marmara southwest of Istanbul for several hours earlier, where he has been closed in solitary confinement since 1999.
His announcement followed a few months after the ultimateist leader Devlet Bahceli, who was part of the Turkish government, launched an initiative to stop the conflict.
“There is no alternative to the democracy in the search and realization of the political system,” writes the father -in -law. “Democratic consensus is a fundamental way.”
Appealing to the members of the PKK – the movement of the Kurdistan workers – the father -in -law said that “all groups have to lay their hands and PKK must dissolve.”
He said the movement – prohibited as a terrorist group in Turkey, the EU, the UK and the US – formed primarily because “Democratic policy channels were closed”.
However, Devlet Bahceli, supported by the positive signals of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other political parties, created the right environment for PKK to lay his hands, he added.
Bahceli has been advocating for difficult military actions against PKK for years, but last October his colleagues were running his hands with the MPS from the Pro-Curd Dem party in Parliament, then suggested that he could get the father-in-law’s freedom if he gave up violence and split his armed group.
About 40,000 people have died since PKK took a weapon. In Southeast Turkey, there was an increase in violence from 2015-17. When a two -and -a -half -year -old truck broke down.
More recently, in October PKK claimed an attack on the headquarters of the Turkish Aviation Industry (TAI) near Ankara which left the dead.
