土耳其总统埃尔多安领导的正义与发展党周三向议会提交法案，旨在推进与库尔德武装分子数十年冲突的和平倡议[1]。该法案包含为前战斗人员提供实际赦免的条款[1]，并将定义监督库尔德工人党缴械和成员司法待遇的程序[1]。库尔德工人党去年宣布了缴械并解散的决定[1]。
根据法案内容，约4000名未直接参与暴力的库尔德工人党成员可获得赦免[1]。申请者必须在法律在官方公报发布后6个月内提交申请[1]。不过，被控蓄意杀人罪和2005年前被判终身监禁的人员被排除在赦免范围之外[1]。
这场武装冲突始于1984年，已造成数万人伤亡[1]。议会正义委员会将在周五审议该法案[1]，预计在夏季休会前通过[1]。目前已有360名议员支持该提案，预期更多议员将在未来几天签署支持[1]。
Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, submitted legislation to parliament on Wednesday aimed at advancing a peace initiative with Kurdish armed groups after decades of conflict, including provisions for practical amnesty for former combatants.[1] The Kurdistan Workers' Party announced last year its decision to disarm and dissolve, and the bill will establish procedures overseeing the party's disarmament and the judicial treatment of its members, with passage expected before the summer recess.[1]
The proposed legislation involves amnesty for approximately 4,000 members who did not directly participate in violence.[1] Applicants must submit their applications within six months of the bill's publication in the official gazette.[1] However, those charged with premeditated murder and individuals sentenced to life imprisonment before 2005 are excluded from the amnesty provisions.[1] The armed conflict between the Turkish state and Kurdish militants began in 1984 and has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths.[1]
The Parliamentary Justice Commission will review the bill on Friday.[1] Currently, 360 lawmakers support the proposal, with expectations that additional parliamentarians will sign on in coming days.[1]
