Tension in the Turkish Parliament

Following the PKK terrorist attacks, the four major political parties in the Turkish Parliament decided to publish a statement public parties to announce and condemn this attack.

What will happen to the elections?

The significant action of the People’s Republic Party to not sign the joint statement of the parties condemning the PKK attack shows that behind the curtain of political games in Ankara, another deal in It is happening.

In 2019, Akram Imamoglu won as the elected mayor of Istanbul with the votes of Kurds against Erdogan, and now, Özgur Özal wants Imamoglu again. as the most powerful knight of the party. But he is afraid that Imamoglu will not be able to win if the Kurds do not support him.

It is not yet clear that the Turkish judiciary will be able to close the preparations in the 3 months before the elections. whether to provide the PKK satellite body in the parliament or not.

In the end, it should be said, PKK terrorist attacks against Turkey since 1984, security problems, It has created a lot of economic and social problems in Turkey, and in addition, it has caused insecurity in parts of Iraq and Syria. The evidence shows that the PKK does not have a significant operational capacity and has lost an important part of its social base. It remains to be seen whether this group will gain points in the upcoming elections by using intimidation and threats.
