The Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) has commenced formal debates on the ‘Law on National Solidarity and Social Integration.’ This framework legislation, supported by the signatures of 367 MPs from six different parties, is central to the ‘Terror-free Turkey’ initiative and seeks to address the Kurdish issue through political mechanisms rather than armed conflict.

Political stances remain deeply divided. The CHP continues to view the proposal as a ‘historic step’ toward removing weapons from the political equation. The Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP) has committed to a ‘yes’ vote to ensure a parliamentary solution, despite reservations regarding the administration’s methods.

Internal friction is evident within the YENİ Parti. While leader Özgür Özel stated the party leadership will vote ‘yes’ to support the nation’s peace, 21 individual MPs—including Trabzon MP Sibel Suiçmez—have declared they will vote ‘no,’ citing concerns over transparency and democratic consultation.

Opposition remains robust. İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu has criticized the law for reversing the necessary sequence of disarmament and integration, arguing that negotiating with terrorist organizations undermines national sovereignty and the unitary state structure.
