Turkey disarmament and political process developments
Overview
The Imralı Committee, including members such as Pervin Buldan and Faik Özgür Erol, has begun discussions regarding the formation of a “Disarmament and Politicization Board” to address the situation involving Abdullah Öcalan. During initial meetings, legal experts expressed concern over a lack of intellectual support and skepticism toward efforts to resolve the long-standing conflict.
As the process progressed, the DEM Party warned against the circulation of leaked meeting notes and transcripts attributed to Öcalan on social media, labeling them a “dangerous activity” designed to sabotage political efforts. The committee noted these documents appeared to contain unauthorized additions and deletions.
Concurrently, a Follow-up and Evaluation Committee, chaired by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, held its first meeting at the Presidential Complex to establish a roadmap for disarmament. Legal experts have suggested that under new frameworks, Öcalan could potentially be assigned as the Head of the Disarmament and Politicization Sub-Committee, which may facilitate the political integration of PKK elements into the parliamentary system.
