It also welcomes of the peace process, which it believes is obviously the way forward in ending violence and creating a peaceful environment for the solution of the Kurdish issue. The Assembly is aware that the process is fragile and should be accompanied by the withdrawal of the PKK activists from Turkey. A "Committee of Wise People", made of 63 members, has been put in place. The Assembly wishes that it be representative of all actors of society and of the different political forces to support efforts to bring the initiative to a successful conclusion."
