Numan Kurtulmuş, President of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), said the upcoming "Terörsüz Türkiye" law will be a temporary, independent measure [1].

This announcement aims to clarify the legal framework of the "Terror-Free Turkey" process and reassure the public that the government is not granting a general amnesty to militants or political offenders [2].

Kurtulmuş said the remarks during a political-party tour, following a meeting with the President of the Norwegian Parliament [3]. He said that Norway is a highly important country regarding mediation and conflict resolution [4]. According to Kurtulmuş, it has been 14 years since a Norwegian Parliament President visited Turkey [5].

The TBMM President said that the legislation being prepared within the scope of the process will not have the character of an amnesty [2]. He said the law as "müstakil ve geçici bir yasa olacak," which translates to "it will be an independent and temporary law" [1].

Kurtulmuş said that the "Terörsüz Türkiye" process is nearing its final stages. He said that approximately 80% of the process has been completed [6].

The focus on a "one-off" legal instrument suggests the government intends to create a specific window for resolution without altering the permanent criminal code, or establishing a precedent for future pardons [2].

“"Müstakil ve geçici bir yasa olacak."”

By framing the legislation as 'temporary' and 'independent,' the Turkish government is attempting to balance the political necessity of a peace process with the domestic demand for justice. Distinguishing the law from a general amnesty allows the administration to offer specific incentives for disarmament or political integration while avoiding the backlash that typically accompanies broad pardons for terrorism-related offenses.
