CHP Central Executive Board convened! Agenda: PKK's dissolution decision

Following the decision of the terrorist organization PKK to dissolve and disarm, the CHP Central Executive Board (MYK) meeting was held online under the chairmanship of General Chairman Özgür Özel. The issue was discussed at the meeting.

CHP officials, who told ANKA News Agency about the CHP's initial assessments of the process, said, "The decision to lay down arms is a positive step for peace. The CHP is the one who wants peace to be established in Türkiye the most. The CHP has never denied the Kurdish issue."

CHP members, drawing attention to the fact that the Treaty of Lausanne and the 1924 Constitution were mentioned in the terrorist organization PKK's declaration, underlined that the 1924 Constitution included the definition of a unitary state. CHP staff, emphasizing that the Treaty of Lausanne is the title deed of the Republic of Türkiye, said, "Opening Lausanne to discussion means re-defining a Republic."

"THE USA WILL COME OUT OF THE BOTTOM"

CHP members noted that the process that started in the Turkish Grand National Assembly on October 1, 2024, continued with the DEM Party delegation's visit to İmralı and evolved into the terrorist organization PKK's announcement of dissolution cannot be handled independently of the developments in the Middle East, and made the following assessment:

“Both Putin’s imminent agreement and this incident happening today… The timing is not coincidental. There is no statement regarding the YPG. The PKK is dissolving itself. Russia and Ukraine are reaching an agreement above. Syria policy is being tried to be established below. At the end of the day, when we remove the table, the US will come out from underneath. The infrastructure of a new Middle East project.”

CHP members, who pointed out that the AK Party's steps towards a solution to the Kurdish issue were not sincere, emphasized that the CHP had a historical consistency towards the Kurdish issue. CHP members, who drew attention to the fact that the Kurdish issue should not be addressed only with security policies, continued their words as follows:

“We have been saying for decades that this is not just a Kurdish issue, but a democratization issue, and that a common life should be established. The Kurds are faced with a policy that until recently called the Kurds ‘terrorists’, that until recently acted with a culture of reckoning, a culture of revenge, then introduced the peace process, then went from the peace process to a policy of trenches, to the policy of the Train Station Massacre, and then backtracked; in other words, it went one step forward and two steps backwards.”

"WHAT WAS AGREED ON?"

CHP members stated that there were questions awaiting answers regarding the PKK's decision to dissolve itself and lay down its arms, and noted the following:

“The text says, ‘The path for democratic struggle has been opened,’ but what is the path, method and what was given for that struggle? What has changed in this democratic struggle environment so far that this process has evolved into laying down arms? What will happen to the weapons, where will they be delivered? What will happen to those who laid down arms? Did these people lay down arms without any discussion about these? Will they say, ‘Come on, Bahçeli wanted it. We laid down arms’? What was agreed upon? What will happen to Selahattin Demirtaş? What will happen to Öcalan’s process? If he is going to bring an amnesty, and there is talk of a partial amnesty, it is said, ‘There will be no general amnesty.’ Were these things done only in return for this amnesty?”

"THERE IS NO TRUST IN AKP"

The staff, who drew attention to the importance of the unitary state structure, said, “We will continue on our path by reminding our red lines again and not deviating from our agenda. There is no trust in the AK Party. It will do these things today, raise its own game, and establish a foreign policy game. But there is no guarantee that it will not terrorize the Kurds again tomorrow and enter a different process, and we have experienced these. We cannot support a process in which Recep Tayyip Erdoğan maintains his seat and some negotiations are made for this.”
