TBMM DECISION

In the decision, which extended condolences to the Turkish nation and the grieving families of the martyrs while wishing mercy upon the fallen from Allah, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey included the following statements:

"We wish a speedy recovery to our heroic soldiers wounded in the attack. Those who carried out this heinous terrorist attack have undoubtedly paid and will continue to pay a heavy price for it. Terrorism will never reach its goal.

We declare to the whole world that the Turkish nation will never bow to terrorism, and that the Republic of Turkey possesses the power and strength to resolutely fight against all terrorist organizations, primarily the PKK/YPG/PYD and DAESH, which pose a threat to its security, both at home and abroad.

We also question the sincerity of states that remain silent or even support the propaganda tools, the harboring of ringleaders, and the provision of finance, personnel, and weapons to terrorist organizations that target Turkey from their own capitals, and we once again importantly remind them that they must end their double-standard approaches.

We expect other national parliaments, especially those of neighboring countries, and international organizations to adopt a clear and uncompromising stance against terrorist acts directed at Turkey.

The whole world should know that our struggle will continue in an uncompromising manner until the last terrorist is neutralized, terrorism is eradicated at its source, and all support behind terrorism is eliminated. Our Veteran Assembly, the manifestation of the national will, will continue to closely follow this process."

The aforementioned decision was adopted at the 49th session of the TBMM General Assembly on January 16, 2024.
