Regarding the work of the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission, Tunç said, "We will continue our work in accordance with the decisions they make, the roadmap they draw, and the common will they put forward on behalf of the nation."

"WE HAVE EXPERIENCED GREAT PAIN"

Emphasizing that Turkey is going through a historic process, that it has been fighting terrorism for 41 years, and that there have been great economic losses and pain, Tunç said, "We have experienced great pain. Our only wish is that our country does not experience these losses and pain from now on. In this sense, we support the efforts for the success of the Terror-Free Turkey process that has begun.
