Parliamentary commission convenes to discuss Imrali visit 2025-11-21 14:54:53   ANKARA – Speaking at the commission meeting where the Imralı visit was to be discussed and put to a vote, Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus stated that they had listened to different circles in Turkey during 17 meetings.    The National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission, established in the context of a democratic solution to the Kurdish issue, began its 18th meeting. At the meeting chaired by Kurtulmus, the commission's work and the Imrali visit will be discussed. Following the discussion, the Imrali visit will be put to a vote.   In addition, the commission will also hold its first meeting after the hearings.    Speaking at the opening of the meeting Kurtulmus said that they had the opportunity to hear the views of almost all circles in Turkey since they established the commission. "Each of these hearings was organised in line with the proposals made by you, our esteemed commission members, and the parties here. At this meeting, there is probably no longer a need for us to convene very often regarding the next steps," he said.    Kurtulmus added: "In the next phase, particularly in light of the briefings provided by our ministers and the Head of the National Intelligence Agency, which addressed issues of exceptional importance discusssed ath the 17th meeting in order to discuss these matters, to clearly and explicitly address certain issues related to the upcoming process, and to discuss the steps to be taken, I will put to the vote the proposal to hold the meeting in a closed session, and we will continue in a closed session."
