Erdoğan convenes AKP board as anti-terror bill nears parliament
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan convenes his ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) top body on July 27 as the government’s “terror-free Türkiye” initiative entered a critical phase ahead of the expected submission of a legal framework to parliament.
Designed to establish the legal basis for the initiative, the proposal was expected to be reviewed by Erdoğan and the AKP’s central executive board before being presented to lawmakers.
Representatives appointed by political parties for the process are expected to meet this week to discuss a roadmap for opening the draft legislation to joint signatures and coordinating political consultations.
The legislation follows a series of consultations led by Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş with representatives from the AKP, its ally the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), the Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), the Republican People’s Party (CHP) and the New Path bloc.
