Turkey passes landmark law to advance 'Terror-free Turkey' initiative

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey has passed the Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration, a legislative framework central to the 'Terror-free Turkey' initiative. The law, which received 468 votes in favor, aims to facilitate a peace process by allowing for the suspension of sentences for certain PKK members under specific conditions.

Implementation of the law is contingent upon the National Security Council confirming that the PKK has dissolved itself and surrendered all weapons. The legal provisions exclude individuals convicted of murder or those with specific sentences received before June 1, 2005.

Following the vote, Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi convened an urgent video conference with the governors, police chiefs, and gendarmerie commanders of all 81 provinces to coordinate the implementation and address potential field challenges, including disinformation and provocations. The initiative is supported by the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli.
