The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has officially declared a ceasefire with Türkiye, marking a significant shift in the long-standing conflict. This move comes after a landmark call by the jailed PKK leader, Abdullah Ocalan, urging the group to disband and pursue peace.
In a statement released by the PKK executive committee and quoted by the pro-PKK ANF news agency, the organization emphasized their commitment to building a peaceful and democratic society.
\"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,\" the PKK statement read.
This ceasefire is seen as a hopeful step towards reconciliation and stability in the region. Youth and communities affected by the conflict are optimistic about the potential for lasting peace and the positive changes it could bring.
