The first address of the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, was the DEM Party group yesterday. Kurtulmuş, who was welcomed by DEM Party Group Deputy Chairman Gülistan Kılıç Koçyiğit, met with Co-Chairs Tülay Hatimoğulları and Tuncer Bakırhan.

According to the information obtained, while Kurtulmuş received the opinions of political parties on issues such as the number of members and functioning of the Monitoring Commission during his visits, the co-chairs of the DEM Party expressed their opinions and suggestions that "the Monitoring Commission should be established as soon as possible, that it should consist of 20-25 members, that its work should not be limited only to the information provided by the security units, and that the monitoring activities for the process should be continued in the field as well".

Visit to AK Party

Stating that the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey took the opinion of the AK Party Grand National Assembly Group, Güler said that Kurtulmuş will inform the public according to the results of the negotiations.

Kurtulmuş will meet with the MHP Group today and receive their opinions and suggestions. The Speaker of the Parliament is expected to meet with the NEW Party next week due to the congress to be held at the weekend.

'The name of the commission will be included with the law'

On the question of what the name of the commission will be, Güler said, "The name of the law is the Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration. The name of the monitoring commission will also be included with the Law. It is the Monitoring Commission on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. We have expressed our opinions. Other party groups will also declare it, and then a picture will emerge."
