The terrorist organization PKK is expected to begin the disarmament phase by Friday. In this context, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received the DEM Party's Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, Pervin Buldan, and her accompanying delegation for the second time at the Presidential Complex regarding the Terror-Free Turkey process. The meeting started at 3:00 PM and lasted about an hour. The efforts to achieve the goal of a "Terror-Free Turkey" were discussed during the reception.
