      Imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan granted access to his lawyers for 1st time since 2011Premature to see this as rekindling peace talks, more immediate aim to end hunger strikes across 90 prisons to protest his isolation.Significant in demonstrating Ocalan's enduring leverage.

      Coming ahead of YSK decision over Istanbul rerun some read this as attempt to break CHP HDP alliance & draw Kurds over to AKP, part of a grand bargain that would include mutual steps on Syria.Too early to leap to any conclusions.

      For those who may not remember, Ocalan has been imprisoned since 1999, yet remains uncontested leader of PKK and affiliated groups and is glue that binds them.

      In the same piece @GiranOzcan Washington @HDPinUSA rep said: “The most concrete sign that the government is interested in resuming peace talks would for Mr. Ocalan to be granted immediate access to his lawyers.”

      We aired scepticism and were thankfully wrong: "But Erdogan's continued salvos against the the HDP offer scant hope for change" Read more:https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2019/05/jeffrey-kalin-turkey-talks-safe-zone-syria.html#ixzz5n8j3xBah …

          Replying to @amberinzaman

          İstanbul seçiminin iptal edileceğinin garantisi gibi. Sonrasında da Kürt oylarına göz koyma. Öcalan'ın da derinlerin veya MİT'in elemanı olduğunun kanıtı gibi.
