Latest News from CHP Party Assembly Agenda in Syria
The CHP Party Assembly meeting will be focusing on discussions related to Syria, following recent statements and criticisms from party members. CHP leader Özgür Özel’s call for dialogue with Assad just before the regime was overthrown in Syria has sparked controversy, with former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu criticizing Özel’s remarks. Additionally, CHP Deputy Chairman İlhan Uzgel has praised the government’s handling of the Syrian process.
At the upcoming meeting, Özel is expected to address his previous statement about the CHP’s absence in discussions about Syria, admitting that mistakes were made. Kılıçdaroğlu has emphasized the importance of the party’s statements holding weight, hinting at the need for more careful rhetoric.
Meanwhile, Uzgel has expressed confidence in the government’s position in the event of an early election, highlighting the need for a new Syria strategy within the CHP. The party is considering a more cautious approach towards foreign political developments, aiming to gauge voter responses and avoid making sharp statements.
Following the Party Assembly meeting, the Central Executive Board will convene to further discuss Syria and potential strategies. CHP also plans to hold a closed group meeting focused on Syria later this week, indicating a continued emphasis on foreign policy issues within the party’s agenda.
