ANKARA - The Turkish Medical Association has pointed out that the government has a great responsibility in the "Peace and Democratic Society Process" and listed the steps to be taken immediately.

 
The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) made a written statement on the "Peace and Democratic Society Group's" arms destruction ceremony and the "Peace and Democratic Society Process". 
 
In the statement, it was pointed out that peace does not only mean the silence of weapons: "It also means the functioning of justice, the provision of the most basic rights, and the ability of every individual in society to live an equal and dignified life. In this respect, peace is directly related to the ethical principles of medicine. With this perspective, the Turkish Medical Association has been against all kinds of armed conflicts and wars from past to present, and has advocated for a democratic-secular republic with equal, free and peaceful conditions and a world without war and exploitation."
 
'A NEW PHASE HAS BEGUN'
 
Pointing out that a new phase has been entered in the solution of the Kurdish issue, the statement read as follows: "The end of the conflict also removes the excuses that have long been used as justification for the prevention of democratic rights. In order to achieve a secular, democratic, democratic, egalitarian republic in favour of the people and a free and healthy society in peace, we announce to the public that the process must be carried out transparently, include all segments of society and simultaneously put an end to antidemocratic practices."
