New statement from DEM Party as results of 'dissolution' congress are awaited: Tuncer Bakırhan speaks

A historic step has been taken in the "terror-free Turkey" process, which began with the call of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli. The terrorist organization PKK announced that it had convened its 'dissolution' congress. Following this development, DEM Party Co-Chair Tuncer Bakırhan, speaking to tv100, said, "Today is a day that will go down in history for the sake of Turkey's democratic future. We are approaching the end of a period woven with pain, tears, and mourning for over forty years. Achieving peace in these lands is our greatest political goal."

Stating that a historic day is being experienced in terms of Turkey's democratic future, Bakırhan said, "Today is a day that will go down in history for the sake of Turkey's democratic future. We are approaching the end of a period woven with pain, tears, and mourning for over forty years. With the democratic resolution of the Kurdish issue, which has a history of over a hundred years, and the end of the forty-year conflict process, these lands can wake up to a future without violence. Only then will our wounds be healed, and society will be able to touch one another again in a true embrace," he said.

Bakırhan continued his statement as follows:

Everyone who shows the will to bring this process to this point will write their name in history in golden letters. Because our greatest test in this world is the test of achieving peace. And if we join hands, we can pass this test successfully.

'A NEW AND HISTORIC DOOR CAN BE OPENED'

We will achieve peace for the mothers who raise their hands to the sky in prayer, and for the millions of our citizens who carry the hope of living together in their hearts. We must now put an end to the pain and destruction of this country. If the political climate that has emerged with the PKK convening its congress is evaluated together with the executive branch, political parties, media, and civil society, a new and historic door can be opened before this country.

'WE ARE AWARE OF THIS HISTORIC RESPONSIBILITY'

As the DEM Party, we are aware of this historic responsibility. We are determined to walk on the path of peace and carry the burden together for the common future of the entire country, from Edirne to Hakkari. Achieving peace in these lands, meeting with prosperity, and offering a hopeful future to 85 million citizens is our greatest political goal and our deepest human desire.”
