The Framework Law stipulates laying down arms, but... PKK terrorists say we will not give up

The Framework Law named "Proposal on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration", which was accepted in the Parliament on 10 August within the scope of the Initiative Process, came into force after being published in the Official Gazette on 18 August. In order for the law to come into operation, the National Security Council (MGK) is expected to publish in the Official Gazette the confirmation that the security councils have ended the actual existence of the terrorist organization and handed over all kinds of weapons and ammunition under its control.

In this context, the MGK convened on September 30 under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. At the end of the meeting, an 8-item statement was published; However, no statement was used regarding the statement specified as a prerequisite. Chief Advisor to the President Mehmet Uçum said at the press conference he held today at Çankaya Mansion; He emphasized that it is possible that the MGK decision will be announced before the end of this year and that the law will be implemented in the first half of 2027.

KCK co-leader Bese Hozat spoke to T24 today. Hozat made remarkable statements about what will happen to the weapons after the terrorist organization lays down its weapons. Hozat; Arguing that it is not necessary to surrender weapons to the state; "Kurds do not live only in Turkey. Kurds live all over the region, and in many places the Kurds are still under great threat and attack. Those weapons are used in other parts of the country for the self-defense of the people. Why should weapons go to Turkey? We have no longer made weapons a threat to Turkey. There is not a single guerrilla (terrorist) within the borders of Turkey, close to the borders of Turkey," he said.

Hozat argues that terror leader Öcalan should also benefit from the Framework Law; "If the definition of 'holding a gun' means an action that involves killing people, then our leadership (Abdullah Öcalan) must first and foremost benefit from this law. Because Leader Apo has not fired a single bullet into this state. He has not been involved in a single planned action. He has not killed a soldier. Then Leader Apo needs to benefit from this law. Leader Apo's physical freedom, let alone that, his right to hope, must be recognized immediately." he said.
