Turkey: Kurds seek Ocalan role in disarmament
The article discusses the role that Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey, should play in the anticipated disarmament process within the framework of the "Turkish Zero Terrorism Operation" law. It is expected that Öcalan will actively participate in the "Disarmament and Strategic Coordination Committee," which is emerging from the Monitoring and Evaluation Council, in accordance with a law approved by the Turkish Parliament in August. Officials confirmed that Öcalan remains in İmralı Prison and emphasized that his involvement is crucial to ensuring the success of the process, with the possibility of issuing a new appeal to lay down arms based on evolving circumstances. The Kurdistan Party "PîjaK" also denied any involvement in plots or direct participation in the process, reaffirming that it continues its struggle outside Turkey. They considered the legal framework a significant step but not enough, pointing to existing shortcomings.
