The AK Party has taken action to explain the Terror-Free Turkey process to organizations across Turkey. The Presidency of Political and Legal Affairs has started organizing regional meetings to explain the Terror-Free Turkey process. The first meeting was held in Adana. The second meeting will take place in Şanlıurfa, and it is planned to hold meetings in all regions. In these meetings, which bring together provincial and district heads and party administrations from the region, the pulse of society is essentially taken by also gathering the views and evaluations of party members on the issue.
GLOBAL EXAMPLES ALSO UNDER REVIEW
According to information obtained by Haberler.com Ankara Representative Şerife Güzel, the meetings include assessments of the importance of the Terror-Free Turkey process goal for Turkey's internal security and developments in the region. Through presentations by individuals involved in the efforts within the scope of Terror-Free Turkey, how terrorist issues have been resolved in countries that have gone through similar processes is explained with examples. In particular, the examples of the IRA in Ireland, ETA in Spain, and FARC in Colombia are examined, along with the similarities and differences in the progression and ending processes of the PKK terrorist organization in Turkey. At the same time, Turkey's struggles with the PKK terrorist organization since its inception are analyzed in detail. Details regarding both the periods of counter-terrorism through security measures and the steps taken towards democratization by the state are included.
EXPERIENCE FROM THE RESOLUTION PROCESS ALSO EVALUATED
The analysis emphasizes that Turkey's fight against terrorism and its solution should be carried out with a unique model. In this context, it is noted that the Terror-Free Turkey process, which has been ongoing for over a year, has been shaped as a unique model according to the dynamics of Turkey and the region. The analyses, which include detailed self-criticism and findings regarding Turkey's previous experience with the resolution process, serve as a warning to avoid repeating similar mistakes in the Terror-Free Turkey process.
A THREE-PRONGED FORMULA IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM
AK Party officials emphasize that solving the terrorism problem in Turkey requires not a single approach but the implementation of three different processes. These are listed as the struggle of security forces, addressing the underdevelopment of the region, and cultural and social rights.
CUTTING OFF THE SOURCES OF TERRORISM IS THE GOAL
It is emphasized that, in addition to Turkey's security-focused fight against the PKK terrorist organization, significant steps are being taken to cut off the sources from which terrorism feeds. The importance of measures such as cutting off the terrorist organization's feeding sources, promoting economic development in the region, raising educational levels, and granting cultural rights is highlighted.
