Turkish parliament speaker: ‘Terror-Free Türkiye’ will end regional instability

Numan Kurtulmus said Turks, Kurds, and other communities will move forward together under the new initiative. The speaker of Turkey’s parliament said the country’s new “Terror-Free Türkiye” process will create a region free from violence, and called for unity among all communities. “Turks, Kurds, and other groups will continue their path together,” Numan Kurtulmus said in a statement, without giving further details on the plan’s timeline or scope. The initiative, named by Turkish officials, aims to end armed conflict and remove militant threats from the country’s borders. Kurtulmus described the process as a step toward lasting peace, but did not specify which groups or regions would be covered. His remarks come as Ankara steps up efforts to address security concerns in the southeast and beyond. The speaker’s comments were brief, and he did not mention any concrete measures or negotiations. The “Terror-Free Türkiye” process has been discussed in Turkish political circles as a potential framework for disarmament and reintegration. Kurtulmus’s statement is the latest public endorsement from a senior official, though no operational details have been released.
