PKK Initiates Disarmament After Decades of Conflict
PKK militants in northern Iraq symbolically burned their weapons in a ceremony, marking a significant step towards ending their long-standing insurgency against Turkey, following a decision to disband and disarm led by their imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan. The event, attended by Turkish, Iraqi, and Kurdish officials, could influence regional stability and peace efforts, including in Syria, and reflects ongoing demands for Kurdish rights in Turkey.
