The initiative is part of a broader effort to resolve the Kurdish issue and eliminate terrorism in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee was created following a historic call earlier this year by Kurdish leader Abdullah \u00d6calan, who urged his party \u2013 Kurdistan Workers&#8217; Party (PKK) \u2013 to lay down arms and disband. The message, delivered in late February through a pro-Kurdish party in Turkey, was met with widespread regional and international support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to reporters, President of the Turkish Parliament Numan Kurtulmu\u015f said the new committee would include representatives from all political parties in parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized that the body would serve as a platform to deepen democratic processes in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDecisions will be made in the best interest of the state and the people, within an environment where diverse ideas can be discussed and perspectives exchanged,\u201d Kurtulmu\u015f said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stressed that Turkey is on track to become a country that has overcome the threat of terrorism. \u201cSuccessfully managing this process is particularly important at a time when several nations in the region are grappling with the scourge of terrorism,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kurtulmu\u015f added that following the dissolution of the PKK, Turkey aims to establish a lasting environment that would prevent any resurgence of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parliamentary committee is expected to quickly draft proposals and submit them to parliament in the coming period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Malin Mohammed<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Turkish Parliament announced on Sunday the formation of a new cross-party committee, \u201cTurkey Without Terrorism,\u201d which is set to begin its work in early August.
