Devlet Bahceli, leader of the MHP, suggested that Abdullah Ocalan be paroled if he renounces violence and his organization lays down arms, surprising many legislators.
The PKK launched an armed conflict against the Turkish state 40 years ago, aiming for an autonomous Kurdish state, resulting in over 40,000 deaths since 1984.
The proposal may indicate a shift in political dynamics, as Bahceli's previous attempts to collaborate with pro-Kurdish parties had been met with staunch opposition.
Pro-Kurdish politicians are calling for Ocalan's isolation to end, suggesting dialogue could pave the way for an 'honorable peace' in the region.
