Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) President Ebubekir Şahin made a written statement regarding the terrorist organization PKK's decision to disband and lay down arms.



Stating that Turkey's deep-rooted state mentality, determination, and all its personnel are carrying out an important process against terrorism, Şahin expressed his gratitude to all state leaders and security forces, especially President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, and MIT President İbrahim Kalın, who lead this process.



Statement by RTÜK President Şahin regarding PKK's decision to disband and lay down arms

"IT IS A GREAT INJUSTICE TO THE TURKISH PEOPLE EMBRACING PEACE"

Şahin noted: "The goal of a terrorism-free Turkey is not only a security policy but also an expression of the common commitment to the right of our nation to live in peace and security. This goal is being realized step by step with patience, clarity, and an uncompromising stance. In such a sensitive period, our society has united with a sense of common sense and responsibility. However, the attempt by some media outlets to mislead the public with publications that have no relation to the truth, are intentional, and manipulative is a clear example of irresponsibility. These publications are a great injustice to the Turkish people embracing peace.

"ALL SANCTIONS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED AGAINST CONTENTS THAT DISREGARD BROADCASTING ETHICS"

Moreover, it has the potential to harm our social unity. The fight against terrorism is a shared responsibility not only of security forces but also of the press, civil society, and all our citizens. Our state will resolutely implement all necessary administrative and legal sanctions against contents that disregard broadcasting ethics and social responsibility. The conscience of our nation listens to the truth, not provocations. The understanding of broadcasting that contributes to peace, security, and social stability deserves all kinds of appreciation."
