Turkey's 'terror‑free' framework law set for parliamentary vote

A draft "framework law" aimed at ending PKK terrorism and establishing a "terror‑free Turkey" is slated for submission to the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) within the coming week. The legislation, which would introduce supervised release for former militants, remove sentence reductions for minors aged 12‑18 and allow life imprisonment in certain cases, is to be first examined by the TBMM Justice Committee before moving to the General Assembly.

Party leaders have voiced strong positions. MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli called for unconditional support, describing the law as a historic democratic step. İYİ Party spokesperson Buğra Kavuncu criticised the parliamentary process, while New Party deputy Murat Emir complained that the draft has not been shared with his party. DEM Party deputies Pervin Buldan, Mithat Sancar and Özgür Faik Erol visited Abdullah Öcalan on Imrali Island on 2 2 August 2026; Öcalan said the law is a key breakthrough that will benefit the nation’s 86 million citizens and open economic and peace opportunities.

The proposal is part of the broader "terror‑free Turkey" initiative, which seeks the dismantling of the PKK, regional peace and a new security paradigm for Turkey.
