Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the PKK, has urged his movement to disarm and dissolve to end decades of conflict in southeastern Turkey. His statement, delivered through pro-Kurdish MPs, emphasizes the need for democratic solutions. Ocalan's call follows an initiative by nationalist leader Devlet Bahceli, who has shifted towards a more conciliatory approach. The PKK, labeled a terrorist organization, has been involved in a violent struggle resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.
