Draft law tied to anti-terror bid enters final stage
Türkiye is nearing the completion of a draft law that would provide the legal framework for PKK’s dissolution and laying down of arms as part of the government’s “terror-free Türkiye” initiative, according to officials familiar with the process.
If a broad consensus is reached, the framework bill could be submitted to the parliament speaker’s office next week, according to the officials. The legislation could be enacted by the end of July or early August before parliament begins its summer recess, they were quoted as saying.
The latest developments came after a series of meetings between ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) officials.
DEM Party lawmakers Pervin Buldan and Mithat Sancar last met with AKP deputy chairman Efkan Ala on July 15.
