A delegation from the Equality and Democracy of Peoples Party reviewed the results of its talks with the Turkish Parliament Speaker, describing the meeting as "very good" and looking forward to achieving constructive results.
The delegation, comprising Pervin Buldan, Sera Theria Onder, and Ahmet Turk, participated in the negotiations held on Thursday (January 2, 2025), meeting with Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş to discuss the Kurdish issue.
Sera Theria Onder revealed that the meeting lasted 50 minutes, referring to the delegation's visit to Abdullah Ocalan in Imrali Prison and reviewing the Parliament Speaker's proposals.
The Democratic Regions Party representative stated: "We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the issues. We will continue later with Mr. Bahçeli. We might meet on Monday with the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Justice and Development Party (AKP), and generally with all parliamentary representatives."
The delegation announced its intention to hold a press conference to review the negotiations' results, confirming the postponement of answering press questions for now.
