Underlining that the duty of the opposition is to maintain the dialogue between the parties in a healthy and orderly manner, Özel said: "In the peace process in Türkiye, the end of terrorism, the laying down of weapons, and the ending of conflicts never to come back, no one living on these lands will be harmed. Everyone will benefit and profit from this. The country will not experience new pains, and from now on, the budget will be allocated for development, not for armament, defense expenditures, or the fight against terrorism. Investments will be made in the future of the country. We believe in this." "At this point, we did not change our stance on the first day, when we said 'We must be on the right side of history', until the last moment, and we reaffirm this position."
