TBMM Deputy Speaker and MHP Istanbul MP Celal Adan argued in a speech at MHP’s Istanbul Provincial Congress that the “Terror-Free Türkiye” process had concluded successfully. Adan stated that the legal framework for the process had been completed and that a new era had begun with the “Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration.”
Adan said that the biggest signature behind Terror-Free Türkiye belonged to MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, and stated that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had also contributed to the process. Saying that the process was being carried out not at the direction of Western capitals or “orders from overseas,” but through Türkiye’s own will, Adan said it had emerged from the thinking of Turkish nationalists and become state policy.
Why it matters
This statement highlights the claim that the political process conducted under the security heading has been given a legal framework and defined as state policy. Thus, the questions at the center of the debate are not only whether the process has ended, but also which areas the new law will regulate and how the goal of social integration will be reflected. Adan’s emphasis also reinforces the narrative that the process was carried out not through external direction, but through Türkiye’s own political will. However, the report contains no details about the law’s content, how it will be implemented, or the positions of different political actors. Therefore, the assessments of success and completion conveyed here should be read as the speaker’s political framing rather than as an independent determination of the outcome.
