"VIDEO INTERVIEW IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGISLATION"

As we have explained before, our legislation specifies how convicts will meet in prison, how they will meet with their lawyers, how they will meet with their relatives. Therefore, our legislation regarding convicts meeting via video from prison is not suitable for this. Of course, within this framework, there is an important work that Mr. Bahçeli mentioned in his group speech and started. There is a goal of a terror-free Turkey. Our President's will towards this call, after Mr. Bahçeli's speech, is clear and there is a work that has started. The whole goal here is a terror-free Turkey. The complete end of terror, the territorial organization that has caused great harm to this country for 40 years, dissolving itself. This is the whole goal. As Turkey enters its 100th year, there is a great effort for Turkey to take a step towards a peaceful future. It is very important for our country that this effort is realized by ending terror. We have had great financial losses for 40 years.

We have given martyrs, we have suffered many moral losses. The biggest obstacle to the development and progress of our country was the terrorist organization, terrorism. We are a country that fights against all kinds of terrorism. As Turkey begins its 100th year, there is a will to remove this obstacle before us. We value the efforts in this regard. If a statement is to be made, especially regarding the dissolution of the terrorist organization, of course the addressee, the leader of the terrorist organization, will make this statement against the terrorist organization. And if the terrorist organization lays down its weapons, if it takes this statement into consideration, it will have taken our country to an important stage in terms of taking a step towards a Turkey without terrorism.

WILL THERE BE A CHANGES IN THE LEGISLATION?

Of course, let the DEM party members' meetings take place tomorrow. We will make the necessary statements in the following process. But such a situation is not the case at the moment.
