They will convene each Tuesday and these meetings will be broadcast live on television. 

  I wonder if we will be able to show interest…  

  How will their relations with other parties be? Will Parliament's general assemblies turn into boxing rings or will there be civilized discussion environments?  

  One part of us sees the DTP's accession into Parliament as an opportunity. They believe a dialogue, which was unable to be established before, can finally occur.  

  Another part of us believes that unless the DTP members say, “The PKK is a terrorist organization and we, as a party, renounce this organization,” no dialogues should be established, that the DTP should even be treated roughly.  

  The section that actually wants to have the DTP-members treated roughly in Parliament, and even beaten, is the PKK. It is its sole aim. I am sure that it will commit new murders and do everything in its power to entice the public during Parliament's sessions just to achieve this aim.

  Can they find a better opportunity than this?  

  They have already prepared what they will say: “These Turks cannot even stand hearing our deputies' voices. They resort to force immediately. Let us resort to force also.” They will act in ways to further corner the DTP-members. 

  Will we fall for this trap?  

  Or, on the contrary, will we do our best to live along-side the DTP-members and to establish a dialogue with them even if we are of different opinions?  

  If we prefer populist attitudes full of empty rhetoric, then we will miss this chance. If we do what is hard, then we will be contributing greatly to this country. Otherwise, we will go no further than making the PKK happy.  

They are also confused  

  Is it only us that are confused? Are the DTP-members' minds clear? No way!  

  When one watches the DTP closely, one can easily see the difficult conditions under which this party works. 

  There are various inclinations, ranging from ideological differences to demeanor and approach. Sometimes one party member does not accept what another says. Sometimes these differences in opinion escalate to levels where they can no longer be disguised.

  Of course, apart from these, there are many other elements that pressure the DTP.  

  On the one hand, there is the element of İmralı, where one-time leader of the outlawed (PKK) Abdullah Öcalan is kept. Öcalan is headstrong and does not take criticism well. Those that do not think like him, or those that do not fulfill his directives, fall out of favor. And those that have fallen out of favor are simply forgotten.

  Is it only the İmralı?

  There is also pressure from the PKK. The organization does not accept any institution to outrank it. It looks for total royalty from the names it chooses.

  And then, there is not only one PKK. There are a number of PKKs. There is the Kandil Mountain. Each has its own goals and mannerism and the party is expected to adopt them.

  As if all of these were not enough, the opinions of the organization in Europe also need to be taken into consideration.  

  In truth, it is total madness.  

  I tried to draw attention to the fact that, under the circumstances, it is very difficult for a DTP-member to follow a coherent policy and to institutionalize simultaneously.  

  As the DTP enters Parliament, we will observe inter-party conflicts more closely. We will see better what they are, what they are not, and the difficulties they face. We will see first hand how the PKK does its best to prevent the DTP from acquiring influence beyond a certain limit.  

  One might say, “Why would the difficulties they face concern me?” However, one should not forget that it is not in our best interest to leave the DTP in the hands of the PKK. And turning the Parliament into a boxing ring is not in the best interest of our country.  

  The better we understand each other, the more constructive our steps will be. We cannot go anywhere by beating each other up or treating each other roughly.  

  It is for all these reasons that we can say a most significant period, full of hope, has begun for Turkey. If only we know what we want.

  Will we benefit from the situation or beat each other up?
