Parliament will cut its summer recess and convene on Wednesday for a special meeting to discuss the increased terrorist activities and the recent operations conducted against the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), the PKK and Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C). Last Thursday the Republican People's Party (CHP) submitted a motion for convening Parliament for an investigation into the Suruç terrorist attack last week that killed 32 peoples. Justice and Development Party (AK Party) chairman and interim prime minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, said on Saturday that they would welcome the CHP's proposal to convene Parliament. "We would have an opportunity to inform our Parliament about the recent operations," Davutoğlu added. The motion stressed the need for all political parties in Parliament to gather and put forth their views in order to investigate the causes of the Suruç bombing as well as other terror acts in Adıyaman and Ceylanpınar, and immediately take effective measures. "Terrorist acts have recently escalated as the domestic and foreign policy methods, along with measures already taken, fail to mitigate the danger," the motion said. Meanwhile, the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) also submitted a similar motion to Parliament. "A parliamentary inquiry is necessary to shed light on the attack in detail, unveil hidden relations and hands behind it, and review the government policies that paved the way for the attacks," the motion read. Parliament Speaker İsmet Yılmaz is expected to call for the special meeting on Monday for the chamber to convene on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.
