Niece of PKK's Öcalan to serve as acting clerk at parliament
Dilek Öcalan, a lawmaker from the ranks of the Peoples? Democracy Party (HDP) will serve as one of six temporary clerks at parliament until permanent ones are elected through next week elections. The appointment is of note because of Dilek Öcalan?s familial ties to Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK).
