Will they wait until September?

It appears that the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) will demonstrate unwavering determination until the end to secure the release of the leader of  PKK terrorist organization leader Abdullah Ocalan, who has been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Türk siyasətini yaxından izlədiyim 1991-ci ildən bəri polis əməliyyatlarının ümumilikdə kürd təmayüllü partiyalara və siyasətçilərə qarşı aparıldığına, tutulması lazım olan şəxslərin həbsxanaya göndərilməsindən və aranın nisbətən sakitləşməsindən sonra siyasi arenadakı kürd partiyası Konstitusiya Məhkəməsi tərəfindən qapadıldığına şahid olmuşam.

While Ankara awaits the moves of Syria's new leader Ahmad ash-Sha'aran, it also exerts pressure on the PKK's Syrian branch, PYD/YPG, through various means every hour of every day: Damascus urges the Kurdish cantons forming in the northeast to 'bury their weapons,' while Ankara communicates this demand more decisively to terrorists within its borders and in Northern Iraq. Since December 8, when an organization Turkey has supported in northwest Syria took control following the Assad family's escape, Turkey has been swiftly capitalizing on the satisfaction this brings. The speed and accuracy of the steps taken so far confirm this; it is clear that Ankara has been well-prepared for these days for years."
