Concern in AKP corridors over commission: Don't let it resemble the previous one!

According to Nefes columnist Nuray Babacan, the work of the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission formed in the Turkish Grand National Assembly has become a significant topic in AKP corridors. It is stated that in evaluations made within the party, this process is being handled with both its security and political dimensions.

MGK DECISIONS AND MİT REPORTS WILL PROVIDE GUIDANCE

According to information provided by AKP officials, the decisions taken by the National Security Council and the reports prepared by the National Intelligence Organization will form the basic framework for the roadmap to be followed. In this direction, security and intelligence data will be taken into account at every stage of the process.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PREVIOUS PROCESS

Party sources emphasize that the mistakes made in the previous resolution process will not be repeated this time. It is stated that the plan, which has been revised based on previous experiences, aims to take more solid steps on both social and political grounds.

The notable sections in Babacan's article are as follows:

In the journey of the resolution process commission established in the TBMM, it is necessary to take the Syria, SDF, and US equation into account. Developments thousands of kilometers away have the ability to trigger each other and influence the outcome. In the ruling party, every conversation that begins regarding the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission ends with developments in Syria.

The evaluations of AKP officials on these intertwined issues are important for understanding the upcoming period:

The managers of the institutions that will take steps regarding the process attach importance to MGK decisions and MİT reports. They explain that these institutions will draw the general framework, and the bureaucracy will fill in the details. This also aims to secure themselves. They attach importance to the official documents upon which they will base the steps taken.

The roadmap regarding the previous, failed opening process is being taken into consideration. It is explained that progress will be made by revising it without repeating the mistakes. It is aimed to support the psychological infrastructure so that 'morale and hope can be nurtured.' A strategy is being carried out to accustom and test society.

The expressions used in the consecutive meetings between the Ministry of Justice, which will flesh out the proposals the commission will receive, and the DEM Party management are also interesting. The role of these two institutions has been likened to railway workers who ensure that train tracks operate regularly. Describing this task that his father used to perform, Mithat Sancar defined their work by saying, 'Our duty is to constantly check the tracks, clear the stones, and prevent the train from having an accident.'

It is stated that DEM members are waiting for statements regarding possible legal regulations at every opportunity to keep the belief of the organization's militants, both in the mountains and in prisons, in the process alive. It is explained that news of 'amnesty-related' regulations that appear from time to time stem from this, even though there is still a long way to go."
