PKK Criticizes Turkish Bill on Fighters’ Fate Pending Parliamentary Debate
The outlawed Kurdish group PKK criticized a proposed Turkish law addressing the fate of its fighters after disarmament, warning it would be ineffective without the release of their jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan. The legislation, supported by Turkey's ruling party and a pro-Kurdish party, aims to allow some fighters to reintegrate under conditions but does not offer a general amnesty. The PKK highlighted shortcomings, including the absence of explicit recognition of Kurdish issues and called for political participation guarantees for former fighters. The bill is set for parliamentary debate.
