Bahceli's suggestion that Ocalan could be released in exchange for renouncing violence and dissolving the PKK surprised many, signaling potential shifts in Turkish-Kurdish relations.
Bahceli remarked that, "Turkey's problem is not the Kurds, but their separatist terrorist organization," illustrating the ongoing narrative in Turkish politics regarding the PKK and Kurdish identity.
The relationship between Turks and Kurds has seen tumultuous moments in history, particularly with the PKK's violent conflict claiming around 40,000 lives since 1984.
