President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Tuesday that only "a few obstacles" remain before reaching the "bright future we call the Century of Türkiye," as the nation celebrated its Republic's 101st anniversary.

Erdoğan led a delegation of state officials to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Türkiye, for the Oct. 29th Republic Day celebrations.

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) lawmakers were split on Oct. 1 over how to greet President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ahead of his address at the parliament.

Erdoğan's speech marked the parliament's return after a two-month legislative break.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reiterated his call for a new constitution, emphasizing the need for a "civilian" text.

"Türkiye needs a new constitution to achieve its goals in economy, democracy, global politics, rights and freedoms," Erdoğan said during an event in the capital Ankara on Sept. 18.

The Turkish parliament has adjourned until Oct. 1 following the approval of a contentious bill regulating the handling of stray dogs.

The bill, which has sparked months of heated debates and protests, was endorsed after 28 hours of deliberation over two days.

An Ankara court on Monday commenced the trial of 22 defendants related to the murder of Sinan Ateş, the former head of the ultra-nationalist group Gray Wolves.

Political parties in Türkiye marked Eid al-Adha with a series of congratulatory visits on June 17, signaling a renewed push for dialogue in Turkish politics.

The celebrations kicked off with a meeting between the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) on the second day of Eid.

Contextual discussions on the government's long-pending proposal for a new constitution will commence in October, Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş has announced amid a flurry of negotiations with political parties.

Kurtulmuş concluded his inaugural round of consultations with representatives from various parties.

Parliament speaker Numan Kurtulmuş has maintained his outreach efforts to garner support for the long-pending proposal for a new constitution, meeting with officials from Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), İYİ (Good) Party and Felicity Party (SP).

The İYİ (Good) Party has elected Müsavat Dervişoğlu as its new chairman during a party congress held in the wake of recent electoral setback.

Dervişoğlu, who serves as the party's deputy parliamentary leader and represents İzmir in the parliament, emerged victorious in the leadership election with 611 votes.

İYİ (Good) Party leader Meral Akşener has announced that she will not seek reelection for the party leadership following a disappointing performance in the local elections held on March 31.
