Overview
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has announced its decision to disband and renounce armed conflict with a new peace initiative aimed at resolving decades of hostility with Turkey. Following a congress in northern Iraq influenced by jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan's call for disarmament, the PKK's historical move aims to reshape Kurdish-Turkish relations. While Turkish officials have welcomed the announcement, skepticism pervades the Kurdish community regarding the lack of governmental guarantees for rights and amnesty. Many desire Ocalan's release as a precursor to lasting peace, as sentiments in Kurdish-majority areas remain mixed amidst hopes for an end to violence.
