Kurdish PKK says it will end the conflict with the Turkish state

A Kurdish group launched a bloody rebellion against the Turkish state for four decades said on Monday that it would put its arms and end the conflict, a decision that could be hesitant in neighboring countries.

The announcement of the Kurdistan Labor Party, known as its Kurdish, PKK, came a few months after its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Oaklan, He urged the group to disarm and solve it. In his message in February, he said that the armed struggle of PKK lived its first goal.

The PKK began as a separatist group that sought to establish an independent state of the Kurdish minority in Türkiye. Recently, she said she had requested greater rights for the Kurds inside Türkiye.

In a statement on Monday, the group said it “carried the Kurdish issue to a level in which democratic policy can be resolved, and the PKK has completed its mission in this sense.”

The group said that Mr. Oaklan should lead the disarmament process and called on the Parliament of Türkiye to be part of it.

The decision may end one of the most permanent security problems in Türkiye and achieve a great political victory for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

This step can end The conflict that has claimed more than 40,000 people.

The Kurdistan Workers’ Party declaration can also have a deep impact on other Kurdish militias, especially in Syria, and change regional dynamics beyond Türkiye’s borders.

The Kurds – an ethnic group of about 40 million – they are Spread Through Türkiye, Syria, Iran and Iraq. They have promised their nation by world powers after the First World War and since they have launched many rebellions to claim that the promise is not achieved.

It was not immediately clear how the decision will affect the pkk bases hidden in the mountainous areas of the northern Kurdish region of Iraq. Türkiye has repeatedly bombed the strongholds of the Kurdistan Workers Party in northern Iraq, in addition to the group’s branch to control the northeastern regions of Syria, and described them as a terrorist threat near its borders.

Turkish officials publicly insisted that the government had not made any concessions to the PKK to persuade it to disarm. But officials from the main Türkiye Party, which supported the Urdu, expressed their hope to expand the government of the cultural and educational rights of the Kurds.
