Imrali Delegation to meet AKP and Kurtulmuş: DEM Party awaits submission of framework bill
A DEM Party delegation is expected to meet AKP representatives and Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş as the government prepares a framework bill outlining the legal structure for PKK disarmament. DEM Party wants the draft first shared with the delegation so it can be presented to Abdullah Öcalan, whose feedback is expected to guide further steps. The proposed bill would be time‑limited and focused specifically on PKK disarmament, with implementation contingent on assessments by security institutions and confirmation by the National Security Council. DEM Party seeks a broader legal framework that also enables the return and political reintegration of senior PKK figures and provides expanded legal guarantees for Öcalan and political prisoners.
