Numan Kurtulmuş decides on preliminary meeting before opening commission

Following the symbolic 'ceremony' in which a group of PKK terrorists laid down their arms as part of the new opening process—architected by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and dubbed 'Terror-Free Turkey' by the government—all eyes have turned to the opening commission to be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM).

The first meeting of the commission, which the İYİ Party has decided not to attend, will take place tomorrow at 11:00.

Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş will hold a preliminary meeting with the deputy group chairmen of the parties today at 14:00, ahead of tomorrow's session.
