Turkey's DEM Party calls for political and legal reforms in peace process

Turkey's Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) has published the final declaration from its Party Assembly meeting held on 7–8 November in Ankara. The party urged the Turkish government to take concrete political and legal measures to advance the peace and democratic society process into its second phase.

Highlighting a July message from jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, the declaration noted that he defines the current stage through the concepts of "democratic politics" and "comprehensive law." The DEM Party stressed the necessity of introducing "democratic integration" laws, arguing that structural reforms, the rule of law, and broader participation are essential to securing lasting resolution and peace.
