On July 11, the terrorist organization PKK, which burned weapons in Northern Iraq, made a historic announcement today, declaring that it has completely withdrawn from Turkey.
While PKK's move has resonated widely in public opinion, the first comment regarding this decision came from the AK Party. Party spokesperson Ömer Çelik made a statement on his X account, saying, "This step is a concrete result of the progress in the roadmap for a Terror-Free Turkey. Steps taken towards the continuous continuation of the disarmament and dissolution process will ensure the achievement of the goals."
STRIKING STATEMENT FROM AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK
In his statement, AK Party spokesperson Ömer Çelik included the following expressions; "The dissolution and disarmament of PKK's elements within Turkey, as well as all armed and illegal structures in the region, especially in Iraq and Syria, is the main agenda of the 'Terror-Free Turkey' process. The continuous disarmament of the PKK is the main heading of the roadmap for the 'Terror-Free Turkey' goal.
With today's developments, the PKK's decision to withdraw from Turkey and the announcement of new steps towards the disarmament process are concrete results of the progress in the roadmap for a 'Terror-Free Turkey.' The withdrawal of terrorist elements from Turkey and the announcement of new steps regarding disarmament are aligned with the main objective.
"THE 'TERROR-FREE TURKEY' PROCESS IS A HISTORIC STEP"
The roadmap continues to produce positive results for the 'Terror-Free Turkey' goal. The 'Terror-Free Turkey' process is a strategic and historic step taken to rid our democracy of all threats. The 'terror-free zone' goal, which is a natural and inseparable result of this, is a stance against the establishment of imperialist hegemony through terrorist organizations in our neighboring countries and the surrounding region. The strategic-political ground formed by Mr. Bahçeli's historic call and the transformation of the process into a state policy with the high will of our President has built a significant framework that is in line with the spirit of the times and responds to the challenges around us.
The support and guidance that matured through the National Solidarity, Brotherhood, and Democracy Commission, composed of different parties in the Grand National Assembly, clearly demonstrated that the sole "political subject" of the process is the national will. From now on, steps taken towards the continuous continuation of the disarmament and dissolution process will ensure the achievement of the goals. With the continuation of the dissolution and disarmament process, the positive framework to be drawn by the National Solidarity, Brotherhood, and Democracy Commission will become clearer.
"PROVOCATIONS MUST BE AVOIDED"
Maximum attention must be paid to protect the process from all kinds of provocations. We are aware of the political, intelligence, and actual sabotage attempts behind the chaos politics developing in our nearby region. In response, we are resolutely implementing the roadmap. The presence and support of parties from different political views is a political richness that adds strength to the entire process. The preservation of this political richness in accordance with the "qualities of our state" and the "values of our nation" will pave the way for progress towards the main objective.
We will not allow unjust accusations and slanders that divert the process from its main focus and the side effects of marginal and maximalist approaches to poison the roadmap. With the support of each of our citizens and our brotherhood, as well as our shared history and destiny, we are progressing towards our goals. With the high state will of our President, all institutions of our state are resolutely continuing to work for the 'Terror-Free Turkey' goal. The Republic of Turkey is in control of the agenda.
