WIDELY COVERED IN THE WORLD PRESS
Erdoğan's statements have made headlines not only in Turkey but also around the world. Numerous news organizations reported on Erdoğan's remarks.

"A NEW PAGE HAS OPENED FOR TURKEY"

The newspaper noted that Erdoğan described the PKK's disarmament as "the closure of a tragic era," stating that Turkey has entered a hopeful process for its future.
WHAT DID ERDOĞAN SAY?
In his statements made today in Ankara, President Erdoğan said: "We are not a nation that just appeared on the stage of history yesterday. We are undertaking a long journey. Open the pages of history and look. No one could stand before our swords and our takbirs. If the Turkish, Kurdish, and Arab are together, then there is a Turk, a Kurd, and an Arab. When they distance themselves, there is defeat.
The Crusaders attacked Islamic lands because the Turkish, Kurdish, and Arab were separated. Whenever we separated, we were defeated. No one has the power to divide Turkey, but they made us lose time. They tried to sow discord between the Turk and the Kurd. Who won in 41 years? History is repeating itself. The Turk and the Kurd are embracing in conversation. Today, the spirit of Malazgirt and the alliance of Jerusalem are being reshaped. Today, the dawn of a great and strong Turkey is breaking.
The Republic of Turkey is our common home, our common roof. We are one, we are together, we are brothers from eternity to eternity. A commission will be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. As the People's Alliance, we will carry this process into the future by cooking it with the AK Party - MHP and DEM Party delegation."
