Turkish Parliament Approves PKK Reintegration Law
The Turkish Parliament has approved a new law aimed at reintegrating Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighters who abandon their weapons back into society, after more than four decades of armed conflict. A large majority supported the law, which allows insurgents who surrender their arms to return to civilian life without issuing a general amnesty, as part of the "Turkey Without Terrorism" efforts. The law represents an important step in the peace process that began about two years ago and comes within the context of negotiations to end the long-standing conflict, amid ongoing debates about the fate of the party leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is serving a life sentence in Turkey.
