RastinewsHürriyet columnist Abdulkadir Selvi, known for his closeness to the government, wrote in his column — citing information relayed from an AKP Central Executive Board (MKYK) meeting — that Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said Abdullah Öcalan, held on İmralı, and former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş would not be able to benefit from the Framework Law.
TGRT's Ankara bureau chief Fatih Atik, who spoke with Justice Minister Akın Gürlek, posted about the exchange on social media.
Atik wrote:
"TGRT gets a special statement from the Justice Minister on the claim that Selahattin Demirtaş cannot benefit from the Framework Law
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek: 'I made no such statement'
My takeaway from today's conversations is that the Framework Law does cover Demirtaş.."
