Turkey regional stability and counter-terrorism efforts

Overview

Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş has articulated a national commitment to regional stability and internal unity, specifically aiming for a “Turkey without terrorism” through a logistical, step-by-step approach. Kurtulmuş noted that Turkey has incurred approximately $2.3 trillion in economic costs due to fifty years of terrorism and criticized attempts to fragment the region via proxy organizations.

Following these public commitments, political engagement has progressed toward formal parliamentary discussions. Kurtulmuş met with a delegation from the DEM Party to discuss the “Terörsüz Türkiye” (Terror-free Turkey) process. These discussions involved reviewing regulations from the National Solidarity, Brotherhood, and Democracy Commission to facilitate the peace process through the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
