Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Numan Kurtulmuş has begun talks with political parties regarding the monitoring committee to be established in Parliament as part of the "Terror-Free Turkey" process. Visiting CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the New Path Party Group, Kurtulmuş said, "The monitoring committee to be formed in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey as soon as possible will begin its work to monitor and control this process on behalf of the nation."
Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (GNAT) Numan Kurtulmuş said that the structure of the commission to be established in the Assembly within the scope of the Law on National Solidarity and Strengthening Social Integration will become clear after talks with the parties.
40-MINUTE MEETING WITH KILIÇDAROĞLU
GNAT Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş visited CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu at his office in the Assembly. The meeting, which lasted about 40 minutes, was closed to the press. It was learned that during the meeting, views were exchanged regarding the monitoring commission to be established in the GNAT under the law.
VISIT TO THE NEW PATH PARTY GROUP
Kurtulmuş then visited the GNAT Group of the New Path Party. Group Deputy Chairs Bülent Kaya and Selçuk Özdağ and Ankara MP Sadullah Ergin were present at the visit.
“A DEMOCRACY VICTORY IN THE FULL SENSE”
Making a statement to members of the press after the meeting, Kurtulmuş noted that in the “Türkiye Without Terrorism” process, an extremely positive point had been reached in the work that has been ongoing in the GNAT for about a year. Kurtulmuş recalled that the law prepared as required by the report accepted in the GNAT National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission with the votes of 47 out of 50 members was adopted on August 10. Stating that with the enactment of the regulation a new door had been opened for Türkiye, Kurtulmuş spoke as follows:
“The fact that 467 MPs voted, with the participation of MPs from almost all political parties, meant that this Law was adopted in the GNAT as a true victory of democracy. I thank all our colleagues who contributed to the passage of the Law and to the commission’s work, and the chairpersons and group executives of our political parties who supported the process from the beginning.”
“THE EXECUTIVE PART OF THE WORK IS ON THE BOARD”
Pointing out that the relevant steps had begun to be taken under the law, Kurtulmuş said, “A board chaired by the Vice President has begun its work and continues its meetings. The executive part of the work rests with this Board.”
“THIS PROCESS HAS NO THIRD EYE”
Drawing attention to the fact that, under paragraph 5 of Article 7 of the Law, the GNAT will monitor the entire process, Kurtulmuş said:
“What we have put forward from the very beginning is that this process has no third eye. Both the third eye and the first eye are the nation itself, and the GNAT, which is the representative of the nation. Through the monitoring commission to be established in the GNAT, this process will be followed on behalf of our nation and the necessary recommendations will be made. Today I began receiving the views of our political parties regarding the establishment of this commission. Earlier, we met with the Chairperson of the CHP, Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Right now, we have spoken with our valued executive colleagues of the New Path Group. Ideas will mature, and we will complete the talks next week. As soon as possible, the monitoring commission to be formed in the GNAT will begin its work to follow and control this process on behalf of the nation.”
NUMBER OF MEMBERS WILL BECOME CLEAR AFTER THE TALKS
Stating that they would make a detailed statement after completing the talks, Kurtulmuş said, in response to a question, that the number of members and the structure of the commission would become clear after the talks.
