Turkey Plans PKK Dissolution Law
The Justice and Development Party in Turkey has submitted a bill to Parliament aimed at dissolving the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and overseeing its disarmament, as part of efforts to end a conflict that has persisted for decades. The law stipulates that fighters not involved in crimes should not be prosecuted, and that those who return to Turkey should cease being pursued. A parliamentary committee and a national security council will be formed to monitor the implementation of this decision. This comes after the party announced in May that it would disarm and dissolve itself in response to a call from its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Öcalan.
