PKK Withdraws from Four Camps in Northern Iraq Amid Peace Efforts with Turkey
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) evacuated four camps in northern Iraq's Metina and Baze regions near the Turkish border as of October 8, confirming earlier announcements. This move is part of a peace process with Turkey, aiming to end decades of conflict. Turkish intelligence and security sources view the withdrawal as progress toward a 'Terror-Free Türkiye,' while the PKK described it as a strategic shift to pursue political means. Turkey's parliament recently approved a bill offering conditional pardons to militants, supporting the peace efforts.
