The main opposition CHP confirmed its participation in the 'Terror-Free Turkey Commission' throughout the day, a decision following earlier discussions and signaling a significant shift in the domestic political landscape. This move also aimed to address issues concerning Kurdish and Alevi communities. Concurrently, the judiciary's role remained a focus as Ekrem İmamoğlu's appeal against the cancellation of his master's degree was rejected in the afternoon, upholding the prior decision. Internationally, Turkish media prominently reported an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula in the morning, which triggered tsunami warnings that later subsided. Turkey also announced it would begin supplying natural gas to Syria from Saturday. Forest fires continued to be reported, and the government issued a directive for increased public nursery capacities.
