Recently, discussions about Imrali have emerged in AKP backrooms. Some nationalist officials believe this situation could negatively affect the election process.

The call made by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli to Abdullah Öcalan has disturbed some AKP officials. This situation brings back memories of the trauma caused by the resolution process in 2015.

Nationalist figures within AKP warned that if the Imrali debate grows, it could damage the alliance with MHP. Opening such discussions as the election process approaches has the potential to scare nationalist voters.
