Following the armed attacks on schools in Şanlıurfa and Kahramanmaraş, it has been decided to establish a commission in the Turkish Grand National Assembly to investigate all aspects of the issue.
In response to the anxiety and security debates created in public opinion by the consecutive attacks, the Parliament will establish an investigation commission that will comprehensively examine the causes of the incidents, security vulnerabilities, and the measures to be taken.
THE GOAL IS TO PREVENT SIMILAR INCIDENTS
The commission to be established is expected to identify security vulnerabilities in schools, assess risks related to individual armament and violence tendencies, and develop solution proposals aimed at preventing similar incidents.
It is anticipated that the commission will start its work shortly and submit a report to the Parliament based on the findings obtained.
