"Steps should be taken in accordance with the gravity of the process"

DEM Party Co-Chairman Tuncer Bakırhan said, "Steps should be taken in accordance with the gravity of the process. Social dynamics should also take responsibility for the progress of the process."

DEM Party Co-Chairman Tuncer Bakırhan made statements regarding the agenda at the opening of the Party Assembly meeting.

Bakırhan stated that everyone should embrace the 'Terror-Free Turkey' process and said, "I would like to point out that we should be in a practice appropriate to the gravity of this process. I mean, the process is not blocked or anything, let me tell you that. The process is progressing in one form or another. We would like to point out that it should progress at an appropriate pace. Because unless steps are taken, as the steps wait, hopes for the process are replaced by concerns. Therefore, I would like to state that concrete steps that reassure the society and increase trust and support in the process should now be taken by the government."

Bakırhan also said, "The Kurdish issue is not a security file. The issue of democratization should not be seen as a security file. It should be seen that this is the result of non-democratization. This process is a very important way out for Turkey, from economy to law, from health to politics. I mean this sincerely. This opportunity should be seized, it should not be kept waiting. Steps should be taken in accordance with the gravity of this process. Social dynamics should also take responsibility for the progress of this process. In other words, it is necessary not to leave the pedal of this process only to the Kurds and one side to the government. Otherwise "This is how it is carried out and no one benefits from its results," he said.
