BDP Deputies

ANF, ISTANBUL — Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) deputies Sırrı Süreyya Önder, Pervin Buldan and Altan Tan have returned from Imralı Island where they have visited the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan on Saturday.

Making a short statement after the visit, BDP group deputy chair Pervin Buldan quoted the Kurdish leader saying the followings; “This visit is a historic step and all sides must act carefully and sensitively in this ongoing process. The state has PKK prisoners, so does the PKK have civilian prisoners. PKK should treat the prisoners well and I hope they will come together with their families soon”.
