New phase in the İmralı process: 'Approval' expected from terrorist organization leader Öcalan

According to information from behind the scenes, it has been learned that PKK terrorist organization leader Abdullah Öcalan will be informed about certain legal regulations planned as part of the 'Terror-Free Turkey' process currently being pursued by Turkey.

These regulations include critical topics such as a "Return Home Law," enforcement regulations, and amendments to the Turkish Penal Code (TCK) and the Anti-Terror Law (TMK). It has been stated that after the laws are announced to the public, a statement must be obtained from Abdullah Öcalan saying, "We accept the consequences of these laws." Obtaining this statement will play a critical role in determining the stance of the organization's members and in the successful operation of the process.

The government has postponed the work on the legal regulations, which are being presented as the second phase of the İmralı process, until after the holiday. This postponement was interpreted as a maneuver to gain time and brought various question marks with it. The regulations to be made will not be limited to PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan and the organization's executives, but will be implemented in a broad scope that will also affect PKK members in prison. While the decision to postpone creates more uncertainty about when this process will be clarified, the scope of the legislative work has also begun to be discussed more.

EXPECTATIONS OF POLITICAL PARTIES ARE RISING

While political parties have announced their demands and stances regarding the legal regulations to be made, how Öcalan will contribute to the process and how he will position himself has become a subject of great curiosity. The government plans to use the legal regulations focusing on the disarmament and dissolution of the PKK terrorist organization as a trump card in the elections. However, this process aims to keep discussions such as amnesty and conditional release in the background. At this point, the type of statement Öcalan will make and the stance the organization's members will take are of critical importance.

According to what Nuray Babacan from Nefes reported, at an important turning point for the future of Turkey, it is mandatory to obtain the statement "We accept the consequences of these laws" from Öcalan for the laws to gain the ability to be implemented. Following this statement, the organization's members will also determine their stance in this direction. It is stated behind the scenes that the state has informed Abdullah Öcalan about the work on these legal regulations and that the stance of the organization's members will be determined by Öcalan's statement.

CLAIMS OF WORK ON A "TURKEY MODEL"

It is emphasized that in line with the geopolitical conjuncture in the Middle East, the tension with Iran, and Israel's plans, Turkey needs to conclude this process without further delay. Politicians state that an attempt is being made to create the infrastructure of a non-typical structure specific to the region under the name of a "Turkey model." In particular, steps such as the dissolution and disarmament of the PKK are considered a highly sensitive process.
