🧩 ONE PEACE PROCESS. TWO VERY DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS
For government, dissolving the PKK is the central objective
For DEM Party, disarmament alone cannot resolve wider political questions.
Where do these competing expectations collide?

Who consents for a nation? On the Republic’s 103rd anniversary, @shehbender reads two parliaments, one in Libya and one in Ankara, and asks what sovereignty means when a defense pact is up and running before lawmakers vote on it.

🕊️ TWO YEARS OF PEACE TALKS BUT PEACE MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE

🔥 ÖZGÜR ÖZEL IS NOW TALKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HIMSELF
İmamoğlu and Yavaş remain on his list of options.

Two parliamentary votes stand between that list and Turkish troops.
