What happened?

Önder made a statement yesterday, claiming that they have hold talks on what concerned the basic rights and certain constitution amendments including the issue of autonomy. 

“Those who say on the first day that the justice was done, on the second day they claim it was all conspiracy and restart trial process. It is the most effective way to reconcile with the people victimized by the state and traumas that were caused due to the government desires from these,” Önder said regarding the possibility of an amnesty in Turkey.
