Framework bill for ‘terror-free Türkiye’ process heads to parliament

A framework bill governing the next stage of Türkiye’s drive to secure the PKK’s full disarmament and dissolution is expected to be submitted to parliament on Aug. 3, as talks continue over a joint proposal.

Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş said after consultations with political parties that he hoped the measure would be presented with broad cross-party backing.

If full agreement is reached, the proposal could carry the signatures of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), its ally the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), the New Party, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) and the New Path bloc.

The İYİ (Good) Party is not expected to join.
