On May 5-7, the expected statement from the PKK, which held its congress, has been released. The terrorist organization, which published the results of the congress, announced that it has disbanded and laid down its arms. The first comment from the AK Party came regarding the PKK's latest statement.
Çelik stated, "The decision of the PKK to disband and lay down arms following the call from İmralı is an important milestone in terms of the goal of a 'terror-free Turkey.' The decision to disband and hand over arms will be a turning point if it is implemented concretely and completely, closing all branches and extensions of the PKK along with its illegal structures."
A NEW ERA WILL BE OPENED
AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made a statement regarding the PKK's decision to disband and lay down arms:
"The high political will expressed by our President for a 'terror-free Turkey' and the inclusive and clear approach that outlines the coordinates of the process as 'state policy,' along with the historic call of Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, has formed the headings for strengthening the overall 'internal front' in response to developments.
The effective and efficient communication traffic between political parties, consultation, and dialogue have enabled democratic politics to take responsibility and produce initiatives as the 'legitimate address.'
The decision of the PKK to disband and lay down arms following the call from İmralı is an important milestone in terms of the goal of a 'terror-free Turkey.' If terrorism completely ends, a new era will be opened.
"THE PROCESS WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED BY OUR STATE INSTITUTIONS"
This decision needs to be implemented in practice and realized in all its dimensions. The decision of 'disbandment' and 'handing over arms' will be a turning point if it is concretely and completely realized, closing all branches and extensions of the PKK along with its illegal structures.
This process will be closely monitored by our state institutions on the ground. The stages reached will be presented to our President.
In this context, the disbandment and laying down arms decision of the terrorist organization must be realized in all its dimensions and concretely both 'internally' and 'externally.' Thus, a positive wave will be created to cut off the imperialist plans that use terrorist organizations for proxy wars in our nearby region.
"EACH POSITIVE STEP WILL BE AN INVITATION TO A NEW POSITIVE STEP"
Moreover, achieving the goal of a 'terror-free Turkey' concretely will enable Turkey to operate all its political channels more effectively during a time when politics is being suffocated by apolitical forces worldwide, further strengthening our democracy, political life, and national unity. It will ensure that political dialogue channels work most effectively in all legitimate addresses of politics, especially in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). The awareness that our Republic is the 'roof' of all of us will strengthen the understanding that our democracy is the fundamental 'ground' for solving all kinds of problems and will become politically rooted. The consciousness of shared history, shared destiny, and citizenship will continue to shape our future on the most solid and legitimate grounds. Each positive step will be an invitation to a new positive step.
It is necessary to achieve a 'terror-free Turkey' with all its dimensions, with complete and concrete goals. Achieving this means winning for all our citizens, with all their cultural, ethnic, and sectarian elements. All our citizens will be the winners. Our fundamental principle is this: Although our names may be different, our surname is the Republic of Turkey.
There is no discussion regarding the 'qualities of our state' and 'values of our nation'; there can be no steps that would undermine these values. The foremost of the great strategic steps that will embrace the Century of Turkey announced by our President will be a 'terror-free Turkey.'
Our nation can be at ease. The agenda of the Republic of Turkey is under control.
