She is the Co-Chair of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party and a member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

[5] As the Co-Chair of the Religion and Faith Commission of the HDP,[6] she defends the protection of the cultural rights of the minorities in Turkey according to the Treaty of Lausanne from 1923.

[8] She is also on the view that Kurdistan exists, which in November 2021 prompted a trilateral discussion between her, fellow HDP Politician Garo Paylan, and the Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar who denied the existence of a Kurdistan, be it in Turkey or Iraq.

[10] Oruç criticizes the contact ban imposed on Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), and calls for his release, and also identifies the "Kurdish problem" and the "Palestinian problem" as two significant challenges in the region that democratic confederalism can potentially resolve.
