In late July 2026, 2026 the Turkish parliament began drafting a “Çerçeve Kanunu” (framework law) as part of the “Terörsüz Türkiye” (terror‑free Turkey) initiative. The law was slated for adoption on August 15, the anniversary of the PKK’s first armed attack in 1984, to symbolically mark By the end of the insurgency. Draft preparation was underway, with the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission reviewing the proposal and major parties—including the MHP, AKP, CHP and İYİ Party—engaged in behind‑the‑scenes negotiations. A week later, month parliamentary speaker Numan Kurtulmuş announced the law at the Independence Medal ceremony, emphasizing reiterated that it the bill is not a blanket amnesty but amnesty; it will only take effect once become operative after the targeted organization has fully disarmed, dissolved disarms, dissolves and its disappearance is officially confirmed. He framed formally verified. Shaped by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the legislation AK Party executive committee and security officials, the draft provides a three‑year supervised‑release regime for former members who have not committed crimes, creates two oversight committees—one under the presidency and one within the TBMM—to monitor disarmament and reintegration, and explicitly excludes Abdullah Öcalan and senior leaders from its provisions. Framed as a temporary, stand‑alone instrument, the law is presented as the final stage of the terror‑free process launched the previous year, urging parties to pass the temporary, stand‑alone bill and is being pushed for passage before the parliamentary recess. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and several ministries voiced support, reinforcing the government’s push to complete the measure before recess, with the summer break. The two snapshots together trace speaker describing the progression from initial drafting and political coordination to expected outcome as a public declaration of the law’s intent, conditions, and the drive “new brotherhood era” for swift parliamentary approval.
