Türkiye has established four subcommissions to coordinate the implementation of legislation aimed at strengthening national unity and social cohesion, according to a board overseeing the process.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Board, chaired by Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz, made the decision at its first meeting on Monday.
The meeting of the board, established under the National Solidarity and Strengthening Social Cohesion Law, focused on coordinating the work of state institutions involved in the process and establishing procedures and principles governing the board’s activities, according to a statement shared by Yilmaz on US social media platform X.
The meeting was attended by the justice, foreign affairs, interior and national defence ministers, as well as the presidential chief of administrative affairs, the head of the National Intelligence Organisation and the secretary-general of the National Security Council, the statement said.
The board established the Legal and Judicial Affairs Coordination Subcommission, Monitoring and Assessment Subcommission, Social Compliance and Integration Subcommission, and Disarmament and Strategic Coordination Subcommission.
The statement said the process aimed at completely eliminating terrorism and violence from Türkiye and the region, removing weapons from the agenda and strengthening fraternity had reached an “important milestone”.
It said the law was adopted by the Turkish Parliament with “a high level of social and political consensus” and reflected the will of the Turkish people.
“Türkiye will continue to implement these historic steps with determination, in full coordination among all its institutions, to strengthen social integration,” the board said.
