PKK announces start of troop withdrawal from Turkiye
The PKK terrorist group has declared the commencement of its troop withdrawal from Türkiye, according to a statement issued by the organization, Azernews reports.
The statement highlights that as conflicts and wars in the Middle East increasingly threaten both Turkiye's future and the Kurdish population, a process initiated last year through statements by President Tayyip Erdoğan, Nationalist Movement Party leader Devlet Bahçeli, and terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan—culminating in Öcalan's call for "Peace and a Democratic Society" on February 27, 2025—is now entering a critical and pivotal phase.
The announcement also mentions that from May 5-7, the terrorist group held a congress where a decision was made to end the PKK's organizational activities and armed struggle approach.
Following this decision, all PKK forces deemed a potential threat to conflict within Turkiye and susceptible to provocations are being withdrawn from Turkish territory.
