土耳其议会以467票对125票赞成，通过了由执政党AKP和盟党MHP提交的《加强国家团结和社会融合法》[1]。该法案为土耳其正在进行的与库尔德工人党（PKK）的和平进程提供法律框架[1]。
根据法案规定，在PKK完全解散并缴械后，监禁期不超过15年的刑罚将暂停执行5年，更长期限或终身监禁的暂停执行期为10年[1]。最多3600名囚犯可能因此获益[1]。该法案同时排除了在2005年6月1日前被定罪的人员，以及被控谋杀且定罪终决的人员[1]。
这一法案出台与PKK创始人奥贾兰的最新表态相呼应——他在2025年2月呼吁PKK解散，宣布结束武装斗争[1]。库尔德政党和PKK均将该法案视为首步，认为还需进一步民主改革和释放被监禁的库尔德政治人物[1]。
然而，该法案在社会和议会内部引发激烈分歧[1]。政治学家伯克·埃森批评该法未提供具体的民主解决方案[1]。库尔德问题研究中心主任鲁哈维奥卢表示，"埃尔多安将明确掌控节奏"[1]，暗示总统将在和平进程中保持主导权。
Turkey's parliament has passed the "Law on Strengthening National Unity and Social Cohesion," a measure designed to provide a legal framework for ongoing peace negotiations with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).[1] The legislation, submitted by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its coalition partner, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), was approved with 467 votes in favor and 125 against.[1]
The law allows for the suspension of criminal sentences for PKK members on the condition that the organization fully dissolves and disarms.[1] Specifically, sentences not exceeding 15 years would be suspended for five years, while longer or life sentences would be suspended for ten years.[1] An estimated 3,600 prisoners could potentially benefit from these provisions.[1] However, the law excludes individuals convicted before June 1, 2005, as well as those with final convictions for murder.[1]
The initiative follows a significant development in February 2025, when PKK founder Abdullah Öcalan called for the organization to dissolve and announced an end to armed struggle.[1] Yet the law has sparked considerable debate both within parliament and society at large. Kurdish political parties and the PKK view it as a preliminary step, asserting that further democratic reforms and the release of imprisoned Kurdish political figures remain necessary.[1] Political scientist Berk Esen has criticized the legislation for failing to offer concrete democratic solutions,[1] while Bahar Ruhavioglu, director of the Center for Kurdish Studies, cautioned that "Erdogan will clearly control the pace."[1]
