The Chairman of the Great Unity Party, Mustafa Destici, made a statement regarding the process of a terrorism-free Turkey, saying, "The Republic of Turkey, through the hands of its heroic security forces, has defeated all terrorist organizations and all our adversaries, including the PKK, and has achieved a definitive victory."
The Chairman of the Great Unity Party (BBP), Mustafa Destici, stated, "The Republic of Turkey has defeated all terrorist organizations and all our adversaries, including the PKK, through the hands of its heroic security forces and has achieved a definitive victory."
BBP Chairman Destici held a press conference before the Central Decision and Executive Board meeting at the party's headquarters.
"OUR STRUGGLE AGAINST TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS CONTINUES"
Destici, regarding the National Security Council meeting held yesterday at the Presidential Complex, said, "There is an eight-item statement made after the meeting. I will read the first item verbatim. Information was provided to the council about operations conducted with determination, decisiveness, and success against all kinds of threats and dangers to our national unity and integrity, primarily including the PKK/KCK/PYD/YPG, FETÖ, and DAESH terrorist organizations, as well as recent international developments. In other words, the struggle against the PKK/KCK/PYD/YPG, FETÖ, and DAESH terrorist organizations continues at full speed by our security forces today."
He continued, "A process is being carried out with the goal of a 'Terror-Free Turkey,' which we had previously referred to by other names at the beginning, but ultimately it is being pursued with the aim of a 'Terror-Free Turkey.' The PKK has convened its congress and announced that it will lay down its arms. However, it has not yet laid down its arms. It has not disbanded itself either. This is clearly and explicitly stated in the Security Council Statement. In other words, our struggle continues against all terrorist organizations, primarily including the PKK/KCK/PYD, YPG, FETÖ, and DAESH," he said.
"THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY HAS ACHIEVED A DEFINITIVE VICTORY"
Destici, who said, "We also want a terror-free Turkey," added, "We want the terrorist organization to lay down its arms. We want this not only for the PKK but for all terrorist organizations. Turkey has wasted 40 years. In one way, it has been wasted. The trillions of dollars of the nation and the state that could have been given to its people, retirees, civil servants, minimum wage earners, and the poor have been spent on terrorism and the struggle against it. Yes, Turkey needs to be freed from these burdens. We have thousands of martyrs. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives. We all want no more martyrs. We do not want our teachers and our people to lose their lives," he expressed.
Destici also stated, "However, these expectations have not been met so far by the terrorist organization structure and its members or affiliates that we face. We want this. But unfortunately, the situation is as I have summarized today. Hopefully, they will lay down their arms unconditionally, without negotiations, and disband themselves. Can Turkey not make some constitutional and legal arrangements to advance its democracy? It can. But this should not be in exchange for a bargain. It should not be within a negotiation process with this terrorist organization or its affiliates. It is not right for us to accept this. Because the Republic of Turkey, no matter who is disturbed, I will say it once again; the Republic of Turkey has defeated all terrorist organizations and all our adversaries, including the PKK, through the hands of its heroic security forces and has achieved a definitive victory. Once again, I express my gratitude on behalf of myself and my community to our heroic army, our heroic police, and our security guards," he concluded.
