KNCS welcomes Ocalan’s call for PKK disarmament, urges Turkish response
The KNCS also urged the Turkish government to respond positively to Ocalan's message and engage in serious dialogue to address the Kurdish issue fairly.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdish National Council in Syria (KNCS) has welcomed a statement from imprisoned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdulla Ocalan, in which he called for the disarmament and dissolution of the PKK.
In a statement released on Friday, the KNCS emphasized that the success of this initiative hinges on the commitment of the PKK and its fighters to Ocalan's appeal. "This step presents a real opportunity to end violence and shift towards a political struggle for a peaceful resolution to the Kurdish issue in Turkey," the statement read.
The KNCS also urged the Turkish government to respond positively to Ocalan's message and engage in serious dialogue to address the Kurdish issue fairly. It stressed the importance of promoting democracy and equality to ensure security and stability in both Turkey and the broader region.
