Former AKP MP slams condolence tents for PKK terrorists, warns of political fallout

Former AKP lawmaker Şamil Tayyar has strongly criticized the practice of setting up condolence tents for deceased members of the PKK, a group designated as a terrorist organization.

Tayyar described the practice as "very disturbing" and a major obstacle to the "Terror-Free Turkey" project. He warned that these actions would inevitably lead to "heavy political consequences."

“

I am no longer sharing the images, they are very disturbing. Establishing condolence tents for deceased terrorists by calling them 'martyrs' is one of the biggest obstacles to the popularization of the Terror-Free Turkey Project. Reactions are growing like an avalanche. Of course, there will be heavy political consequences.

"I am no longer sharing the images, they are very disturbing," Tayyar stated, emphasizing that referring to deceased terrorists as "martyrs" and establishing tents in their honor is deeply problematic. He noted that public reactions are growing rapidly.

Tayyar expressed hope that the state is also disturbed by the situation and has warned against the establishment of such tents, suggesting that permission will not be granted. "If the process is not to be infected, the public's nerves should not be played with," he urged, specifically calling for the DEM Party to be brought under control.

I heard that the state is also disturbed and warned against the establishment of condolence tents. They will not be allowed. I hope it is true. If the process is not to be infected, the public's nerves should not be played with. Especially the DEM party must be brought under control.
