The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has declared a ceasefire with Türkiye, responding to a groundbreaking call for peace and disbandment issued by the group's incarcerated leader, Abdullah Ocalan, on Saturday.
\"In order to pave the way for the implementation of leader Apo's call for peace and democratic society, we are declaring a ceasefire effective from today,\" announced the PKK executive committee in a statement quoted by the pro-PKK ANF news agency, highlighting the group's shift towards peaceful negotiations.
This ceasefire marks a significant development in the long-standing conflict between the PKK and the Turkish government, potentially paving the way for dialogue and reconciliation in the region. Stakeholders and international observers are closely monitoring the situation to assess the implications for regional stability and peace prospects.
