Parliament returns with anti-terror legislation high on agenda

Türkiye’s parliament is set to resume work after the Eid al-Adha holiday with a focus on legal measures tied to the government’s anti-terror initiative, as lawmakers prepare to debate proposals aimed at supporting the next phase of related efforts.

Attention in the parliament is expected to center on legislative arrangements being drafted by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) as part of the “terror-free Türkiye” initiative. The content and timing of the proposals are expected to be shaped by developments on the ground and assessments by state institutions.

According to media reports, lawmakers are preparing to begin the first stage of parliamentary work on the proposed regulations in the coming days following a report by the National Intelligence Organization (MİT). The measures are expected to address legal and administrative aspects of the campaign.

The parliamentary agenda comes amid continued government efforts to advance the anti-terror vision, a policy framework aimed at ending decades of violence linked to PKK. Turkish officials have repeatedly said the initiative combines security measures with political and legal steps intended to support long-term stability.
