Turkey’s pro-Kurdish party to visit jailed militant leader again, party sources say

 

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey’s pro-Kurdish DEM Party will hold face-to-face talks with imprisoned Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Ocalan for a second time, possibly as early as next week, two DEM lawmakers said on Wednesday.

A second visit to Ocalan’s island prison is being planned and could happen as early as Jan. 15, Gulistan Kilic Kocyigit and Serhat Eren said.

In December, Turkey allowed a two-person DEM delegation to make the first such visit to Ocalan in nearly a decade. Ocalan has been quoted as indicating he may be prepared to call for militants to lay down arms.
