Türkiye: After 40 years of armed struggle, the PKK announces its dissolution

It was expected, but it is nonetheless a historic moment! The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) announced its dissolution on Monday and the end of more than four decades of armed struggle against the Turkish state.

"The 12th PKK Congress has decided to dissolve the PKK's organizational structure and end the method of armed struggle," the Kurdish armed group announced in a statement, after earlier stating that it had held its congress last week.
