Turkey approves PKK disarmament law
The Turkish Parliament has decided to adopt a law titled “Enhancing National Solidarity and Societal Integration,” which aims to disarm the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), classified as a terrorist organization in Turkey. The law stipulates that investigations and prosecutions related to the party's activities, which carry a maximum penalty of 15 years — except in cases of intentional homicide and crimes committed before June 2005 — will be postponed for a period ranging from 5 to 10 years. This delay is contingent upon security institutions confirming that the party has handed over all its weapons. The approval was met with widespread applause in Parliament, where 468 deputies voted in favor, 88 against, and 6 abstained. This comes after the PKK announced it would dissolve itself by 2025 and began disarming in July as part of the “Turkey Without Terrorism” initiative. The law is considered a historic step toward strengthening national unity and eliminating terrorism once and for all, according to officials.
