"The ending of the state of emergency should not be deemed as ending the struggle (against terrorism). The fight against terrorism, the most persistent and determined fight against all kinds of terrorism, especially the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETO), will continue till the end," he said in a speech in Istanbul.
Experts believe that the lifting of the state of emergency will bring normalcy to Turkey which has been shaken to the core with the failed coup and the extraordinary events that followed.
"The end of emergency rule could open a new page in Turkey for better conditions and for the independence of the judiciary and the media," wrote political analyst and journalist Murat Yetkin in his regular column in Hurriyet Daily News.
The government has, however, warned that the emergency rule could be reinstated if deemed necessary.
"If we are faced with a very extraordinary threat, the state of emergency mechanism can be declared again," Ibrahim Kalin, the presidential spokesman, told reporters after the country's first cabinet meeting under the new presidential system last week.
