The PKK has announced a ceasefire, responding to jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan's call for disarmament and a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict with Turkiye. Ocalan, imprisoned since 1999, continues to influence the PKK from prison. His recent appeal emphasized the need for political conditions to be met for the disarmament process to succeed. Turkiye's President Erdogan welcomed this opportunity for peace and indicated that he would monitor the progress of negotiations. The situation marks a significant change after decades of turmoil between the PKK and the Turkish state.
In a statement referred to Ocalan as 'Apo,' the PKK's executive committee declared a ceasefire, emphasizing their intention to adhere to his call for peace.
Ocalan's historic call from prison urged the PKK to disarm, dissolve, and cease its long-standing conflict with the Turkish state, aiming for a peaceful resolution.
