Kurtulmuş says terror issue largely defeated

Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş said on June 27 that Türkiye is entering the final stage of its fight against terrorism, estimating that most of the problem has already been solved.

“The bulk of the work is done. In my view, 80 percent to 90 percent of the issue has been completed,” he said in televised remarks on private broadcaster CNN Türk, adding that he expects terrorism will no longer be a domestic concern in the near future.

He said Türkiye’s strengthened regional position and shifting security dynamics have reduced the space for terrorist activity.

Kurtulmuş also pointed to ongoing parliamentary efforts and cross-party engagement on related policy discussions, saying legislative work is being prepared to support the government’s “terror-free Türkiye” process.

“The law to be enacted will not be an amnesty in any form,” he said, describing it instead as a potential regulatory arrangement.

He added that broader political consensus would be important for sustaining progress, and called for continued cooperation among political parties in parliamentary commissions addressing the issue.
