One unprecedented development follows another in Turkey. The latest was the visit by a delegation of the parliamentary commission to solve the Kurdish issue, to the imprisoned Kurdish leader, Abdullah Ocalan. The full transcript of the meeting has not been shared however, because Ocalan has not said what the state expected of him. If Turkey does not give up instrumentalising Ocalan for its own objectives and continues to refuse taking actual steps, the process looks doomed.<\/p>\n
The visit to Ocalan suits the current \u201cpeace process\u201d\u2013 best put between quotation marks, because so far the state has shown no real commitment \u2013 in the sense that it is truly unprecedented that MPs of governing parties, the Justice and Development Party, AKP, and Nationalist Movement Party, MHP, participated in it.<\/p>\n
