New Phase in Combating Terrorism: Legal Ground for Laying Down Arms

AK Party Spokesman Ömer Çelik made significant statements after the party's Central Executive Committee meeting. Çelik stated that a new stage has been reached in the goal of a Turkey free from terrorism. The current stage in the fight against terrorism is the establishment of a legal basis for laying down arms. This process has political and legal dimensions and involves comprehensive work. Çelik emphasized that the process is being carried out as a state policy under the leadership of the parliamentary commission and the President's instructions. Stating that no steps have been taken that would undermine the state's values, Çelik noted that the next stage is even more important and requires fine-tuning. He added that the creation of a legal basis is important, as is the political atmosphere that has been established.
