Highlights from Ömer Çelik's statements are as follows:
Our camp format has traditional elements. At the same time, there will be an intensive consultation process where dozens of topics regarding domestic and foreign policy will be discussed in environments where both our deputy chairmen and our ministers will participate.
As always, our camp will begin with a historic speech by our President and Chairman. Through this camp, we will all see our President's comprehensive evaluations. Our MKYK meeting today also includes a comprehensive presentation by our Minister of Industry and Technology, Mr. Fatih. There are many topics concerning the Ministry of Industry and Technology, from global developments to artificial intelligence and our goals for the Century of Turkey. They are delivering a meaningful and valuable presentation on these issues.
"AN INTENSIVE SUMMER PERIOD AWAITS US"
After our MKYK evaluates this presentation, the evaluation of parliamentary work will be carried out as always. Then, our work for the upcoming period will continue. An intensive summer period awaits us. There is the NATO Summit. We will commemorate our heroic martyrs on July 15.
"WE MUST TAKE A STRONG STANCE AGAINST ISRAELI AGGRESSION"
Inhuman attacks continue in Gaza. As a result of the attacks, international law has also been damaged.
We are in an extremely fragile period. Actually, a new period is starting now. We must demonstrate a strong will for lasting peace. We must take a strong stance against Israeli aggression.
Mr. Devlet Bahçeli's statements regarding early elections are extremely important. Our presidential candidate is Mr. Erdoğan.
LATEST STATUS IN THE PROCESS OF A TURKEY WITHOUT TERRORISM
Our work on a Turkey without terrorism continues uninterrupted. It has been seen once again how valuable the designation of a Terror-Free Region is. We congratulate our Kurdish brothers in Iran and Iraq once again for their upright approach.
"WE ARE IN A NEW PHASE"
It is important that our Speaker of Parliament personally chaired the commission to complete this process and that a report signed by those who participated emerged. It is valuable for everyone to stand behind that signature. The goal is for the PKK to end with all its branches and extensions. It must be removed from the agenda of Turkey and the region. We are in a new phase. Once the commission report fulfills the necessary requirements, a legal framework will emerge. We are in a new phase in a Turkey without terrorism.
All stages have been passed, these works have been completed, and the stage of a legal framework where the terrorist organization will disappear has been reached. Turkey has the capacity to overcome this issue with a common will and its great values. There must be a legal framework aimed at resolving this issue. The goal is for terrorism to end and for Turkey to be rid of armed structures. With the approval of our President, this process will be completed. This process needs to go through all stages. The process will proceed without bargaining. Everyone needs to be very careful about this; we see that there are discourses that will infect the process under the heading of 'I support the process.' We need to look at the words of brotherhood within our nation. Slander campaigns against the process can come to the agenda. We are far from these. We know these types of discourses very well. We welcome fair criticism with respect. We are also aware of the efforts to sabotage the process by distorting it and making slanders.
What we are looking at here is our focus; we are working to reach the goals of a terror-free region and a Turkey. The views of the political parties that contribute to this are very valuable.
