With the call he made at his party's group meeting, MHP Chairman Bahçeli initiated the Terror-Free Turkey process and closely followed the process with his statements on the agenda. Bahçeli shared a new message, sending a message to the live broadcast attended by DEM Party member Meral Danış Beştaş. In Bahçeli's message, he emphasized Abdullah Öcalan's message.

"PEACE IS NOT A ONE-WINGED BIRD"

Bahçeli, who sent a message through MHP Deputy Chairman responsible for Media, Communication, and Digital Platforms, İsmail Özdemir, stated, "Peace is not a one-winged bird. One wing was clearly shown by the call made by Abdullah Öcalan on February 27 and the dissolution decision we have reached today. We must bring both wings together as a nation. There is no room for unnecessary discussions on certain issues to achieve our goal of a peaceful and terror-free Turkey."

HOW DID THE PROCESS START AND CONTINUE?

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli stated at his party's group meeting on October 22, "If the isolation of the terrorist leader is lifted, let him come and speak at the TBMM DEM Party group meeting. Let him proclaim that terrorism has completely ended and the organization has been dissolved." After Bahçeli's statement, the DEM Party delegation applied to the Ministry of Justice on November 26, 2024, to meet with terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan in Imralı. On December 9, 2024, Bahçeli applauded the speech of DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan, who called for a new beginning during the budget discussions in the Parliament.

On December 27, 2024, Justice Minister Tunç responded positively to the DEM Party's request. The first meeting of the DEM Party with PKK leader Öcalan took place on Saturday, December 28, and the second meeting was held on Wednesday, January 22. Following that, the DEM Party delegation visited their party. The delegation met with Neçirvan Barzani, President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government, and Mesut Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iraq, on Sunday, February 16, in Erbil.

On Monday, February 17, they met with Bafil Talabani and Kubat Talabani in Sulaymaniyah. After another meeting with Öcalan, the DEM Party delegation made a statement following the meeting on Imralı Island, reading Öcalan's message. In his message, Öcalan stated, "I call for the laying down of arms and I take on the historical responsibility of this call." Before the statement, the last photo of Öcalan taken on Imralı Island was also shared.

DEM Party Spokesperson Ayşegül Doğan stated in a press conference at the Party Headquarters on May 9, "It is a matter of time before the PKK announces that it has convened its congress. This is an important step. What follows this step will also be significant." Shortly after Doğan's statement, the terrorist organization PKK announced that it had convened its congress from May 5-7. On May 12, the terrorist organization PKK declared that it had dissolved itself and laid down its arms.
