President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day Commemoration Program held at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). The program at the TBMM hosted a remarkable summit.

After the PKK terrorist organization's decision to start laying down arms, President Erdoğan stated, "Now the AK Party, the Nationalist Movement Party, and the DEM, we have decided to walk this path together at least as a trio," and met for the first time with the other partners of the People's Alliance, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and BBP Chairman Mustafa Destici. The three leaders held a meeting at the TBMM.

BULDAN: THIS IS A PROCESS ALLIANCE

In response to Erdoğan's words, DEM Party İmralı Committee member and Van Deputy Pervin Buldan said, "Let it not be misinterpreted. This alliance is a process alliance. It should definitely not be perceived as another type of alliance."

AK PARTY'S RESPONSE WAS PROMPT

The response to Pervin Buldan's remarks came from AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik, who spoke at the Kızılcahamam Camp. In response to Buldan's statement, "This alliance is a process alliance," Çelik used the following expressions: "Our esteemed President, our Chairman, also mentioned some criticisms regarding a Terror-Free Turkey yesterday; you remember he said this: Some actually do not wish for the end of terrorism because they think they will be unemployed when terrorism ends. There is a dual exploitation of this, as you know.

Firstly, there are those who benefit from the existence of terrorism, and there is also an understanding that uses the phrase 'let terrorism end' as a headline and then unjustly accuses every process carried out behind it as betrayal, thus constantly leading issues to a deadlock. Our esteemed President mentioned that with the continuation and completion of this process in this way, all these areas of exploitation will close, and those who try to create a mission for themselves from here, although they may seem contradictory, will find themselves unemployed as they try to create a political space from the existence of terrorism.

"THE FRAMEWORK IN OUR PRESIDENT'S SPEECH..."

Even if these exploitations are mentioned, the historical call of Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, the state will expressed by our esteemed President, and the process carried out by the DEM Party, which visits various parties, will continue to maintain the same framework for consultation in the future. Therefore, the framework in our esteemed President's speech is also related to the process of carrying out a Terror-Free Turkey."
