Turkey DEM Party peace process developments

Overview

The DEM Party has expressed a continued commitment to a permanent and dignified peace process in Turkey. To support this goal, the party established four specialized committees—covering judicial affairs, monitoring, social integration, and disarmament—to coordinate efforts and implement a framework law.

A central component of the party’s strategy involves the role of Abdullah Öcalan. Party representatives have emphasized the necessity of providing Öcalan with uninterrupted communication capabilities to fulfill his responsibility in coordinating disarmament and strengthening Kurdish-Turkish relations.

As the process evolves, DEM Party leadership has signaled that a new phase may begin following an upcoming National Security Council meeting in October. Leaders noted that progress depends on establishing conditions for Öcalan to engage in both disarmament and political processes. Additionally, party members have called for the implementation of court decisions regarding Selahattin Demirtaş, arguing that political freedom is a prerequisite for a genuine peace process.
