TBMM Deputy Speaker and member of the DEM Party’s İmralı Delegation Pervin Buldan met with the Mothers of Peace in Van. Buldan drew attention to the importance of the insistence on peace among women who have experienced the devastating consequences of war and conflict.
Buldan said that more concrete and practical steps would be taken within the process in the coming days, adding that peace would become more tangible with these developments. She stated that joint struggle was necessary for the process to move forward.
Why it matters
The statement signals that the debate on peace will move beyond general calls and enter a stage focused on implementation. For this reason, the development is important for those monitoring the direction of the process and the parties’ positions going forward. The insistence of women who have experienced the consequences of conflict regarding the process shows which segments of society are providing support and how the demand for peace is connected to everyday experiences. However, it has not yet been announced what concrete and practical steps will be taken, when these steps will come onto the agenda, or how the call for joint struggle will be answered. These uncertainties currently make it difficult to assess the scope and feasibility of the stage indicated by the statement.
