Numan Kurtulmuş makes statement on İmralı process

Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş made important statements regarding Turkey's fight against terrorism. Stating that critical steps are being taken for a Turkey without terrorism, Kurtulmuş drew attention to the importance of the PKK and other affiliated organizations laying down their arms completely.

"TURKEY WILL CAST THIS SCOURGE INTO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY"

Parliament Speaker Kurtulmuş stated that Turkey is moving forward with determination in its fight against terrorism and said the following:

"Steps have been taken in the direction of a Turkey without terrorism. With the PKK and other organizations connected or linked to it laying down their arms completely, Turkey will have cast this scourge into the dustbin of history."

Emphasizing that this process is being carried out with the cooperation of all state institutions, Kurtulmuş stated that efforts to eradicate terrorism are continuing with determination.

TBMM WILL BE THE CENTER OF THE SOLUTION 

Pointing out that the Parliament is the address for the resolution of all of Turkey's problems, Kurtulmuş called on political parties, saying, "The TBMM is the place for the resolution of all of Turkey's problems. Therefore, the issue will be resolved through the common stance of the political parties in the TBMM."

Stating that work on a new constitution is also continuing in the Parliament, Kurtulmuş emphasized that this process is not connected to any other issue.

"THE İMRALI PROCESS AND THE NEW CONSTITUTION ARE INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER"

Speaking about the İmralı process, which has come to the agenda recently, Kurtulmuş stated that this issue should not be associated with the new constitution efforts.

"Specifically, the İmralı process and the new constitution efforts have no connection to each other. They are two separate issues; one should not confuse the two," Kurtulmuş said, underlining that this process should be evaluated separately.
