Turkish foreign minister reacts to new initiative with jailed PKK leader Ocalan

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan discussed the recent olive branch extended to Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Fidan said that the proposal by Devlet Bahceli – the leader of Turkey’s far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) – to have Ocalan address the Turkish parliament offered a “space” to find a peaceful solution to the long-running conflict with the PKK.
