A closed PKK leader tells the group to put a weapon, to end a conflict with Turkish | PKK NEWS

In a historical move, Abdullah Petalan asked his party to “put a weapon” and to dissolve, according to the statement.

At the prison, the leader of the Kurdistan (PKK) workers' party (PKK), Abdulus, has called on his party of workers in Kurdistan (PKK) to put his hands and dissolve, a move that can end his 40-year conflict with Turhi and have a broader impact on the region.

A delegation of the Turkiye Dem Pro-Party visited Okalan on Thursday at his island prison and later delivered his statement to nearby Istanbul.

“I reflect on weapons and take on the historical responsibility of this call,” Pacal said in a letter published by members of the DEM party.

Okalan wants his party to hold a congress and officially agree to dissolve, they quoted it.

“Convinate your congress and make a decision. All groups have to put their hands on and the PKK should be dissolved, “Okalan said, according to the statement.

PKK is considered to be a terrorist organization of Turks and its Western allies.

Commenting on this move, the ruling deputy chairman of the AK Party Efkan Ala said his country would be “released from his shackles” if the PKK laid weapons and dissolved.

In the first response of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling party, but said the government expects the PKK to comply with the call of the Okalan.

Al Jazeeh's Sinem Koseoglu, reporting from Istanbul, said the Pacal letter was “historical” as he first asked PKK to dissolve.

More than 40,000 people were killed as the PKK began its match in 1984 in order to extract an ethnic homeland for the Kurds. Since then, she has moved away from her separatist goals, and instead sought more autonomy in the southeastern Turks and the greater Kurdish rights, but the groups associated with PKK continue to carry out sporadic attacks in Turhi.

The appeal of Okalan may have a reflection on the main region of oil exports in northern Iraq, where the PKK is founded, and for the neighboring Syria, which appeared after 13 years of Civil War and the Bashar al -Assad's kettle in December.

The peace process of Turkiye-Pkk collapsed a decade ago.

The 75 -year -old Okalan has been imprisoned on the island of Istanbul, outside Istanbul, since 1999, after being convicted of betrayal. Despite the prison, he continues to have a significant impact on the PKK and the group's management is expected to comply with any of its calls.

Parisalan's broom message is part of a new effort for peace between the group and the Turkish state, which was initiated in October by President Erdogan's coalition partner, Devt Bahli. The nationalist politician suggested that Okalan could receive a conditional release if his group abandons violence and dissolved.

Last year, Okalan said he could transfer the Kurdish question “from the arena of conflict and violence to a law and policy”, later proposing assurances that he was “ready to take the necessary steps and to make the call.”

The meeting on Thursday was the third time when the DEM party staff met Okalan as part of Mira's efforts. The officials also met with Selakhatin Demirtas, a closed former leader of the predecessor of the Demni Party and traveling to Iraq to talk with Kurdish leaders there.

The DEM party had to change its name after repeatedly banned. Opponents say the party supports the “PKK terrorism”, but Dem says he calls for more democracy in Turkier.
