Leader of the Republican People's (CHP) Party, Deniz Baykal, has criticized in the strongest terms the recent decision by the European Court of Human Rights concerning former PKK head Abdullah Ocalan. Part of what Baykal said following the decision by the ECHR was as follows:
'Maybe you in your comfortable armchairs in Europe would like to sit back and watch the Ocalan matter the same way you watch a horror film, but we, as a society who has actually experienced the horror of Ocalan, prefer not to live it again. In the decision, Ocalan is not even referred to as the leader of a terrorist group. "
