Turkish political developments regarding terrorism policy

Overview

The ‘Terror-free Turkey’ initiative, a state policy promoted by the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has progressed toward a critical legal and judicial phase. While MHP leaders have maintained that proposed regulations regarding PKK members do not constitute an amnesty, officials are now focusing on the transition from field operations to legal implementation.

Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz provided a significant update on the initiative, noting the massive economic burden of terrorism, which he estimated at a minimum of 2.3 trillion dollars. He explained that the current stage involves verifying the laying down of weapons and the disbanding of organizational structures. Once these conditions are confirmed by the National Security Council, the process will move into a judicial phase coordinated by the Ministry of Justice.

Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı has reiterated that the process is in its ‘final stages,’ emphasizing that the strategy combines security efforts with investments aimed at combating ethnic discrimination and fostering national unity.

Recent statements from MHP officials have reaffirmed the policy as a vital state necessity. MHP Deputy Chairman Mevlüt Karakaya stated that the process is essential for the nation’s future and the survival of the state, noting that there will be ‘no compromises or withdrawals’ from this objective. Additionally, MHP Deputy Chairman Feti Yıldız announced upcoming seminars focused on the ‘Terror-free Turkey’ goal and the Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration, framing the vision as a comprehensive policy involving the rule of law and economic development.

Political opposition remains active. İYİ Party Deputy Chairman Buğra Kavuncu has criticized the methods, arguing they risk undermining national identity. Vatan Party leader Doğu Perinçek described the steps as ‘useful but incomplete,’ suggesting a lack of a comprehensive plan for social and state-level integration.
