Turkey approves law on Kurds
Turkey has approved a historic bill aimed at ending the long-standing conflict with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) through a legal framework for reintegrating fighters into society. The law stipulates suspension of legal proceedings and sentences of 5 to 10 years for those who lay down their arms and participate in specific activities, with exceptions related to murders committed as part of the organization's operations and old judgments, including those against the organization’s leader, Abdullah Öcalan. The implementation of these measures requires the surrender and disposal of all weapons. Meanwhile, the Kurdish party continues to criticize Öcalan’s exclusion from amnesty, warning that laws may remain mere words without his release. This law represents an important step in the attempt at reconciliation after more than 40 years of conflict that has left tens of thousands of victims.
