The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) announced today, June 17, 2026, an official decision to extend the parliament's working period. The move comes following the completion of procedural steps and the official publication on the matter.

According to a report by İLKHA (İlke Haber Ajansı), a media outlet known for its conservative line and at times close to government circles in Turkey, the extension of the parliament's working period has been officially approved. The announcement emphasizes the continuity of parliamentary work during the current period.

At the same time, TGRT HABER, a Turkish news network associated with an approach that reports extensively on government moves, updated that the decision was published in the Official Gazette (Resmi Gazete). This publication gives the decision the legal validity required for its immediate implementation in Turkey's governing institutions.

As of now, the specific reasons for the extension of the activity have not been detailed, but the move reflects internal Turkish political processes conducted under the supervision of the current administration.
