After confirmation that the PKK has laid down arms, changes are expected to the laws on enforcement, counter-terrorism and criminal law. The Turkish parliament is expected to take steps next week toward the planned monitoring commission.

AK Party sources said three basic laws could be amended if confirmation comes that the PKK has laid down arms. Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş is planning to write to the political party groups to ask for names for the commission.
