⌨Turkish media on July 12 continued its intense focus on the PKK disarmament process, building on the previous day's reports of weapons being laid down. Morning headlines emphasized the initial groups surrendering arms, with public sentiment expressing joy for a "Turkey without terror".
By late morning, anticipation built around President Erdoğan's "historic speech," where he declared the 47-year terror problem was nearing its end, heralding a new chapter for Türkiye. Major political parties, including AK Party, MHP, and DEM, reportedly affirmed their commitment to this path. Throughout the afternoon, discussions continued on the implications of this "farewell to arms," with Pervin Buldan responding to Erdoğan's "triple alliance" declaration, and Ahmet Türk offering thanks. International congratulatory calls to Erdoğan further underscored the perceived shift. Separately, the funeral of Presidential Chief Advisor Yiğit Bulut was covered, alongside reports of TRT board changes.
