While it has been confirmed that the PKK will lay down its arms on Friday, striking statements came from AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik. Speaking on NTV live broadcast regarding the process of a Turkey without terrorism, Çelik pointed to Saturday.

AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK: THE PARLIAMENT COMMISSION WILL PREPARE THE GROUND FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF THE PKK

Çelik stated: "The parliament commission will prepare the ground for the dissolution of the PKK and the laying down of arms. We are trying to benefit from the opposition's criticisms. Terms like 'betrayal' and 'concession' are not correct. There is no negotiation regarding the fundamental values of the state. Let’s not lose our focus here.

Of course, we need everyone's opinion and support, but we should not turn this into black and white. There will be nothing that casts a shadow on the memory of the martyrs. Ultimately, we will pave a way for our state and nation. The parliament's involvement in this way is very valuable. Let’s discuss this calmly.

THE PROCESS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA

All elements representing Iraq are supporting the process. Our approach in Syria is as follows. Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity should be maintained. There should be a single army. The PKK's Syrian branch, the SDF, can lay down its arms through integration into the army. The integration of the SDF into Syria must be completed, and the SDF should be a part of the army.

"THE SDF MUST BE A PART OF THE SYRIAN ARMY"

My advice to the SDF is to accelerate the process. If the process of laying down arms does not take place in the SDF, it will become a threat to both Syria and the Republic of Turkey. The SDF must be a part of the Syrian army. Great powers will not stay here until the end. We want the peoples to live together here. When the great powers leave, Turkey will be the protector of everyone.

"OUR PRESIDENT WILL MAKE A HISTORICAL STATEMENT ON SATURDAY MORNING"

If a message is aimed at the organization laying down its arms, how can it be against the state? The focal point of the message is the dissolution of the organization and the laying down of arms. Our focus is on the dissolution and the laying down of arms by the terrorist organization.

There is extraordinary trust in our President and Bahçeli. We evaluate both their support and criticisms. We are dealing with a number of provocations that the public knows and does not know. The important thing is that we will continue to do what is right for the state and the nation. Our President will make a historical statement on Saturday morning."
