The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) announced on Monday that it dissolves and disarm, finishing 40 years of conflict with Turkey.
The announcement follows a February call by the PKK chief, Abdullah Öcalan, who has been imprisoned on an island near Istanbul since 1999, so that the group has been holding a congress and officially dissolving. According to Öcalan, the PKK has survived its original mission.
In March, the PKK declared a unilateral ceasefire with Turkey in the middle of the political signals of the Coalition Manager of Turkey suggesting that the leader of the PKK could be granted by the parole if the group dissolved.
The group, which had been appointed a terrorist organization by Turkey, the EU and the United States, has led an insurrection against the Turkish state since 1984, claiming tens of thousands of lives.
