土耳其议会以467票支持通过了由执政的正义与发展党（AKP）及其盟友提交的《加强国家团结与社会融合法案》[1]。该法案旨在为正在进行的和平进程提供法律框架[1]。根据该法案规定，库尔德工人党（PKK）成员在PKK完全解散并缴械后，符合条件者可获得刑期暂缓[1]。具体而言，监禁期限不超过15年的判刑暂缓5年，更长或终身判刑则暂缓10年[1]。官方媒体估计约3,600名囚犯可能因此受益[1]。法案不适用于2005年6月1日之前的定罪者，以及被控谋杀且定罪已生效的人[1]。
这一举措得到亲库尔德党派的支持[1]，但也引发了批评声音。政治学家贝克·埃森指出，该法案缺乏民主改革内容，未能提供解决库尔德问题的具体民主解决方案[1]，且权力过度集中在总统埃尔多安手中[1]。库尔德研究中心主任雷哈·鲁哈维奥卢表示："埃尔多安将明确设定步伐"[1]。这一法案的推出恰逢PKK创始人奥卡兰在2025年2月呼吁PKK解散、宣布结束武装斗争之时[1]。
Turkey's parliament has adopted legislation aimed at establishing a legal framework for ongoing peace efforts with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).[1] The "Law on Strengthening National Unity and Social Integration," submitted by the ruling conservative Islamist AKP party and its allies, received support from 467 of 592 lawmakers voting in the chamber.[1] The measure allows PKK members who meet certain conditions to receive sentence suspensions once the organization has fully disbanded and disarmed.[1]
Under the law's provisions, prisoners convicted with sentences not exceeding 15 years may have their imprisonment suspended for five years, while those with longer or life sentences face a ten-year suspension period.[1] Officials estimate approximately 3,600 inmates could potentially benefit from these measures.[1] The law excludes individuals convicted before June 1, 2005, and those convicted of murder with finalized sentences.[1] Pro-Kurdish parties backed the legislation, though critics argue it lacks substantive democratic reforms and concentrates excessive authority in President Erdogan's hands.[1]
The timing follows PKK founder Ocalan's call in February 2025 for the organization to dissolve and end its armed struggle.[1] Political analyst Berk Esen has criticized the law for failing to provide concrete democratic solutions to the Kurdish question,[1] while Kurdish Studies Center Director Reha Ruhavioglu stated that "Erdogan will set the pace explicitly."[1]
