President Erdoğan, in a statement following the PKK's decision to begin laying down arms, announced that a commission would be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), stating, "We will start discussing the legal needs of the process under the roof of the Assembly. I emphasize that as the People's Alliance and together with the DEM delegation, we will develop this process and carry it into the future. Now, the AK Party, MHP, and DEM have decided to walk this path together as a trio."
President Erdoğan attended the 32nd Consultation and Evaluation Meeting of his party. In his opening speech here, Erdoğan stated that he would establish a commission in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) regarding the process of a Terror-Free Turkey.
"WHATEVER WE DO, WE DO FOR TURKEY"
Emphasizing that they will not allow the honor of the Republic of Turkey to be trampled during the Terror-Free Turkey process, he said, "Everyone should be assured that we will not let the honor of the Republic of Turkey be tarnished, we will never let it bow its head. We are pursuing our Terror-Free Turkey project with this understanding. No one has the right to question the nationalism, patriotism, and love for Turkey of our coalition partner, MHP Chairman Bahçeli, and his team. No one can question my nationalism, the nationalism of the AK team, and their love for Turkey. It is not anyone's right or authority. Whatever we do, we do for Turkey, whatever we do, we do for our nation, whatever we do, we do for our independence and our future." he stated.
"86 MILLION OF OUR CITIZENS HAVE WON"
Stressing that everyone should celebrate due to Turkey's liberation from 47 years of the terror plague, Erdoğan said, "Let alone being anxious, every individual of our nation should be happy and celebrate because of this picture, every household in Turkey should be adorned with our star and crescent flag. Turkey has won, my nation has won. Turks, Kurds, Arabs, every one of our 86 million citizens has won. If Turks, Kurds, and Arabs are united, then there are Turks, there are Kurds, there are Arabs. When they are divided, when they separate, there is defeat, disaster, and sorrow." he expressed.
"THE AK PARTY, MHP, AND DEM; WE DECIDED TO WALK THIS PATH TOGETHER"
Stating that a commission will be established in the TBMM, Erdoğan said, "We will establish a commission in the TBMM, and we will start discussing the legal needs of the process under the roof of the Assembly. I emphasize, as the People's Alliance and together with the DEM Delegation, we will carry this process forward by nurturing it. The DEM Delegation met with our Speaker of the Assembly yesterday. I hope that our Assembly will support this beneficial process with the widest possible participation. Better things will happen. The steps taken yesterday created very different voices in Iraq, and it is essential for our Kurdish brother in Syria to live in peace. Now, the AK Party, MHP, and DEM have decided to walk this path together. We have concerns, we are troubled. Since we have concerns and we are united, with God's permission, we will overcome these obstacles. Let everyone know that there is no need to clench fists anymore. Turkey will grow with brotherhood, it will strengthen with democracy. You will see that we will soon reach a very different Turkey. We provide every kind of convenience to those who take a step. Remember, we open the door wide for those looking for a way out. But if the waters flow in the opposite direction, we will take the necessary actions. No one should be anxious." he said.
