Sources say the PKK is poised to formally dissolve
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) is anticipated to declare as early as May 9th that it has decided to stop its battle against Turkey and will dissolve as a group, two sources have said, according to Middle East Eye.
The move comes after a February statement from Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK’s jailed leader, in which he urged the group he set up over four decades ago to disarm.
The group said it held a conference from May 5th to May 7th and talked about the leaders call. The group said it has made decisions that will be declared imminently “with relevant documents and information.”
