Speaker says anti-terror effort may continue through recess
Parliamentary Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş called on political parties to accelerate efforts to complete the government’s anti-terrorism initiative, saying the process could continue even after the assembly enters its summer recess.
“I believe this process needs to be accelerated,” he said at a press conference in Ankara when asked whether parliament would begin formal work before the recess.
Kurtulmuş said the most important condition for the initiative what officials describe as the “terror-free Türkiye” process is obtaining verifiable and monitorable confirmation that PKK had fully dissolved.
“Given the positive momentum achieved, all parties need to continue their joint efforts to finalize this as soon as possible,” he said. “If necessary, work on this issue would continue [during the summer recess] and results will be achieved.”
