Demirtaş: ‘What may have Erdoğan asked for in İmralı island, sending there a delegation?’

Imprisoned ex-chairperson of People’s Democratic Party referred to the claim made by journalist Amed Dicle that a delegation from President Erdoğan’s AKP talked to Abdullah Öcalan in the İmralı prison but was not able to get the answer they desired.

By BIA News Desk,

Selahattin Demirtaş, the imprisoned Ex-Chairperson of People’s Democratic Party (HDP) asked from his twitter account “What may have Erdoğan asked for in İmralı island, sending there a delegation?”

Demirtaş quoted in his post Yeni Yaşam daily’s report reflecting the claim journalist Amed Dicle made that “the government has met with PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan in the İmralı island prison but was not able to get the answer they desired.”

Amed Dicle talked to Nezahat Doğan from Yeni Yaşam and said, “The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has held meetings with Abdullah Öcalan in this atmosphere when the country is heading towards the elections, but then the isolation has been worsened when they were not able to get the answer they desired. They also tried to make indirect contacts with Kandil [referring to the bases of PKK accross the border] but they were not able to get what they want…”

In his tweet Demirtaş quoted this report by Yeni Yaşam and asked, “What do you think Erdoğan may have asked for, sending a delegation to the İmralı island?” He then said, “It seems that he started to accuse all of us of cooperating with “terror” again when he was not able to get what he wanted. I leave such double dealing to your appreciation.”

Erdoğan, İmralı’ya heyet gönderip ne istemiş olabilir sizce?

İstediğini alamayınca yine hepimizi “terörle” iş birliği yapmakla suçlamaya başladı anlaşılan.

Bu ikiyüzlülüğün takdirini size bırakıyorum. pic.twitter.com/eqam14o6JG— Selahattin Demirtaş (@hdpdemirtas) April 25, 2023
