Turkey Law No. 7595 counter-terrorism framework

Overview

Presidential Advisor Mehmet Uçum has provided assessments regarding Law No. 7595, a framework law in Turkey intended to end systematic terrorism. Uçum described the legislation as a policy designed to achieve national interest by offering a conditional ‘fresh start’ for relevant parties, noting that the process is an extraordinary phase in the Republic’s history that requires a general political approach rather than partisan agendas. Further analysis by Uçum clarified that terms within the law, such as the ‘effective end’ or ‘complete liquidation’ of the terrorist organization, refer to practical processes rather than strictly judicial definitions. The framework aims to facilitate a transition for the PKK into the political sphere, potentially involving disarming and consolidating under a single political umbrella to participate in the Turkish Grand National Assembly and manage southeastern regions through elections. Uçum emphasized that the speed at which elements of the organization fulfill obligations to lay down arms is critical to the process. In recent updates, Uçum clarified that Law No. 7595 is a specific and temporary measure for the liquidation of terrorism and should not serve as a basis for general penal reform. He noted that the likelihood of the law being challenged via abstract norm review at the Constitutional Court is low, citing an October 17, 2026, deadline for such actions. Regarding constitutional reform, Uçum emphasized that any new constitution must be submitted to a public referendum, even if it receives more than 400 votes in Parliament. He suggested that a new constitution is unlikely to be completed during the current legislative term and will likely be handled by the 29th Term of the Grand National Assembly.
