The AK Party's traditional Kızılcahamam camp has begun. This camp is a bit more important than the others. All eyes will be on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's historic speech.

President Erdoğan is expected to make statements regarding the implementation of the terrorist organization's decision to lay down arms and the roadmap of the process.

ERDOĞAN'S SPEECH AT 10:00 AM

The time for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's speech has been announced. President Erdoğan will make statements to the public today at 10:00 AM.

TERROR-FREE TURKEY TIMELINE

Expectations from Erdoğan's speech are concentrated on three main topics.

1 - The first is the announcement that a new phase has been reached in the "Terror-Free Turkey" process with the first images of the PKK's arms surrender. In this context, it is evaluated that Erdoğan may provide messages regarding the timeline for the completion of the arms surrender process and the situation of those in the mountains.

'COURAGEOUS CHALLENGE'

2 - The second topic is the emphasis on a "new threshold" for the new constitution. Sources indicate that the activation of civil politics will be an important topic, stating, "From Erdoğan's statement, it will be understood that those who have been confused until now will reach a stage where they say, 'We understand the issue now.'" It is also evaluated that Erdoğan will make a "courageous challenge" regarding subtopics such as "democratization, freedoms, and the expression of ethnic identities" concerning the new constitution.

EU OPENING POSSIBLE

3 - The most striking expectation regarding the "historic" speech in AK Party circles is that Erdoğan will make a clear call to Europe to initiate the EU membership process as a "natural result" of the steps towards democratization and the new constitution. AK Party officials state, "We see the EU as a key to overcoming issues such as the flow of foreign capital to Turkey. Even the name of visa-free travel creates a secure environment for the arrival of foreign capital in Turkey. The most important reason for the inability to reopen chapters related to the EU until now has been Turkey's democratization, terrorism, constitutional, and freedoms issues. But if terrorism is over now, and if significant progress is made in terms of freedoms in the constitution, then if the EU is truly sincere about 'terror,' a step can be taken in this regard. Our President may make a call to Europe," they comment.

THEME DETERMINED

This year's camp program, held for the 32nd time in the AK Party, will continue until Sunday. Members of parliament, central headquarters executives, and party boards will come together. The camp will be organized under the theme 'Leadership that Transcends Borders with the Power of the Nation.' Current issues in politics and domestic and foreign developments will be discussed. Additionally, some ministers and party executives will also make presentations. The roadmap for the AK Party's new term will be discussed at the camp. Plans will be made for the activities to be carried out in the field during the three-year period without elections.

CAMP-SPECIFIC APPLICATION

A new generation mobile application will be launched at the camp to help participants have a more efficient experience. Participants will be able to access the camp schedule, hall maps, and real-time updates on President Erdoğan's program through the application they download to their phones. This will provide a camp process supported by technological means.

ÖMER ÇELİK: OUR PRESIDENT WILL MAKE A HISTORIC SPEECH

AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik stated regarding the process of the PKK's laying down arms that President Erdoğan's speech, expected to be made at the AK Party camp today, "A comprehensive camp preparation has been made. Almost all topics, including both domestic and foreign policy, will be addressed. If the laying down of arms occurs, our President will make his first speech regarding this point and what comes next at the opening of the camp, traditionally. This will be a comprehensive and in-depth speech. A message of good news is always expected. In fact, it is a historic speech. When evaluating all these developments, we will all listen." he said.
