Turkey Proposes Amnesty Bill to Advance Peace with Kurdish Militants
Turkey's parliament is considering a bill offering limited amnesty to some former PKK Kurdish militants, aiming to end decades of conflict. The law would suspend sentences for up to 10 years, excluding serious crimes like intentional homicide, and is supported by ruling and pro-Kurdish parties. The PKK dissolved itself in 2025 following leader Abdullah Ocalan's call. The bill seeks to facilitate reintegration while a council oversees its implementation. Opposition parties have expressed concerns about consultation.
