A very important step is being taken today in the "Terror-Free Turkey" process that began with the call of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. The PKK, a terrorist organization that has been a scourge for Turkey for 41 years, is laying down its arms today. The process will be completed in 3-4 months under the supervision of MIT and the Turkish Armed Forces. Every stage of the disarmament process will be recorded.
Today, another important threshold will be crossed regarding a Terror-Free Turkey. The terrorist organization PKK will begin to lay down its arms as of today, and it is stated that the complete disbandment of the organization and the destruction of all weapons will take 3-4 months.
THE MOST CRITICAL THRESHOLD WILL BE CROSSED TODAY
The process of a Terror-Free Turkey, which began with the significant speech of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli regarding the liquidation of the organization, and entered a new phase after the call from the PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan for the laying down of arms and the dissolution of the organization, will cross its most critical threshold today.
LOCATION FOR THE EVENT WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED
According to a report in Türkiye Newspaper, the event to be held for the laying down of arms in the rural area of Sulaymaniyah city in Northern Iraq has been prepared in coordination with Ankara, Baghdad, and Erbil. Due to provocation and security risks, the location of the event will not be disclosed. The ceremony will not be broadcast live; however, closed-circuit broadcasts will be made for participants from large screens set up in another area.
VERIFICATION MECHANISM ESTABLISHED
After this event, the PKK will continue to lay down its arms step by step. No similar events will be held during this process. Organization members will deliver their weapons to designated centers in groups or individually and will register. The MIT and TSK have established a special verification mechanism to monitor whether the laying down of arms is 'symbolic' or not. Through this mechanism, the entire process of laying down arms will be monitored step by step. The weapons collected at the designated centers will be destroyed using special methods. Sending them to a third country will not be allowed.
CAMP DISTRIBUTION WILL TAKE PLACE
- In parallel with the process of laying down arms, the warehouses used as the organization's logistics center will also be destroyed.
- As the process progresses, the camps will also be evacuated.
- Those who have not been involved in crime will be able to return to Turkey comfortably if they wish.
- No charges or prosecutions will be made against these individuals.
