Chief Advisor to the President Uçum Firm on Stance Against Negotiation – Latest Update
Chief Advisor to the President Mehmet Uçum has recently penned an article discussing the ongoing process towards achieving a terror-free Turkey. The article follows a series of events, starting with a call from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli and a visit from the DEM Party delegation to İmralı. Uçum emphasized that the goal of a terrorism-free Turkey will be achieved under all circumstances and conditions.
In his article, Uçum made it clear that the State Initiative to end terrorism is unwavering. He stated, “Terrorism will be ended continuously in every sense and in every medium. This has nothing to do with any other issue. There is no negotiation or bargaining for this.” He emphasized that seeking consensus, establishing commissions, or referring to legislative authority in an attempt to end terrorism is absurd. The state is determined to put an end to the actions, language, tutelage, and organization of terrorism everywhere and under all circumstances.
Responding to criticisms about the process, Uçum described them as “an attitude that will destroy the historical opportunity.” He dismissed claims that the Imrali talks are linked to presidential candidacy or constitutional amendments, stating that the goal of a terror-free Turkey is essential regardless of any constitutional changes.
Uçum also warned that the state will not tolerate any attempts to resist or sabotage the goal of a terror-free Turkey. He expressed confidence that terrorism, which has been sowing discord between Turks and Kurds for 40 years, will be eradicated completely, leaving no trace of division or conflict.
The Chief Advisor’s strong stance on ending terrorism in Turkey underscores the government’s determination to prioritize national security and unity above all else.
