PKK Disarmament Brings New Hope

The PKK announced its dissolution. Within four months, it must disarm. The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) will closely monitor each step.

Turkey Sends a Strong Regional Warning

Turkey’s leaders did not stop with just a message. They warned both Iran and Israel: Do not send Kurdish groups or armed factions to our borders. If you try, we will take it as a direct threat. Such moves could destroy Turkey’s efforts to end terrorism. “If proxy forces appear at our border, we act,” sources said.

Peshmerga to Replace PKK Camps

PKK camps in Northern Iraq and Qandil will soon be empty. Turkey expects Peshmerga forces to move in. This will help prevent chaos in the region. It also supports Turkey’s push for security.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan supported him, calling the step “a historic window of opportunity.” The DEM Party expects better conditions for Abdullah Ocalan and hopes for more legal changes.
