The Turkish government will submit a draft law titled “Terörsüz Türkiye” to the Grand National Assembly to outline measures for eliminating terrorism.
This move comes during a period of significant political volatility in Ankara. The initiative follows a decision by the Republican People's Party (CHP) to issue an absolute veto, which triggered a split within the party and led to a reshuffling of the political landscape.
Also known as the ‘çözüm süreci yasası,’ the draft law is part of a broader government effort to curb terrorism and stabilize the state [1, 2]. The legislative process is moving quickly, with the law expected to be passed by the end of July 2026 [1].
Parallel to these legislative developments, the political opposition is undergoing a transformation. Özgür Özel, a former member of the CHP, is currently leading preparations to establish a new political party [1]. This fragmentation of the main opposition party provides a different dynamic for the government as it seeks parliamentary approval for the security measures.
The Grand National Assembly in Ankara will serve as the primary venue for the debate over the law's specific provisions [1, 2]. The government's strategy aims to address security concerns while responding to the current state of political fragmentation.
While the specific articles of the draft have not been fully detailed in public summaries, the overarching goal remains the creation of a "Terror-Free Turkey" through legal frameworks [1]. The timing suggests an urgency to resolve these security mandates before the close of the current month [1].
“The draft law is part of a broader government effort to curb terrorism and stabilize the state.”
The introduction of the 'Terörsüz Türkiye' law coincides with a critical weakening of the CHP's unified front. By pursuing this legislation while the opposition is split and Özgür Özel is forming a new party, the government may find a more fragmented parliament, potentially easing the path for the law's passage by the end of July.
