Bitimlari

Bitimlari is the Turkish-language form referring to ceasefires or endings of conflicts or processes. Bitim means end, termination, or cessation, and is commonly used to denote a cessation of hostilities in a conflict, a negotiated end to fighting, or the conclusion of a process. The plural form is bitimler, and bitimlari is an inflected form encountered in Turkish grammar that marks possession or definiteness in certain syntactic constructions, for instance when referring to "their ceasefires" or as a determiner in longer phrases.

In usage, bitim and its inflections appear in political, historical, and diplomatic writing in Turkey and Turkish-language media. They are used to describe moments when fighting stops, when a ceasefire is agreed, or when negotiations move to the next phase, such as armistice agreements or peace talks.

Historically, many conflicts have ended through ceasefires described by Turkish sources with the term bitim. The concept is closely related to terms such as armistice (ateşkes) and peace treaty (barış anlaşması). In modern Turkish, the term is typically found in news reporting, academic writing, and official diplomatic communications, both within Turkey and in Turkish-language international reporting.
