Erdogan Targets Final PKK Disarmament with New Legislative Push

The proposed legislative framework seeks to breathe life into a peace process that has remained frozen for years. Erdogan signaled to the AK Party that the government intends to act with urgency, balancing national security priorities with a strategy to integrate Syrian Kurdish militants into the existing Syrian state infrastructure.

This shift in policy follows Ocalan’s directive to disarm, marking a potential turning point in a decades-long conflict. By formalizing the path to disbandment, the administration hopes to neutralize the group as a militant force while navigating the complex regional instability that has complicated previous reconciliation efforts.
