Abdullah Ocalan, the head of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has announced he will lay down weapons in Turkey.
A pro Kurdish Turkish party delegates from the People’s Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) visited Öcalan in prison.
At the conference, Öcalan urged his followers to surrender and presented proof of his commitment to this important responsibility.
Abdullah Ocalan called on his party to have a proper congress and formally disband the organization.
Arab media mentioned that officials of the DEM Party presented a letter from Öcalan during a press conference.
He mentioned in the writing that peace endures longer than war and fighting.
He emphasized how vital it is to raise peace, stability, and security.
Öcalan said the PKK was born over the lack of recognition of Kurdish identity.
Creating the PKK, he suggested, would enable to address problems.
Now, by contrast, he believes every military group should disarm for lasting peace.
Arab specialists think that Öcalan’s appeal might help to put Turkey’s 40year conflict to an end.
They believe his statement might lead to significant political and security changes.
If brought in, this judicature would change how Turkey deals with the Kurdish issue.
It might also more generally affect local peace projects.
Some experts contend that Öcalan’s message reflects a strategic shift in the Kurdish issue.
His call for disarmament suggests a possible change toward pacifistic political engagement.
His appeal’s impact varies according on how the Turkish government reacts.
From both national and worldwide points of view, Ocalan’s choice might have an impact on opinions on the Kurdish fight.
His comment has provoked debates about possible future peace negotiations. Many people expect this to produce a permanent resolution.
Abdullah Ocalan has been kept at Turkey’s İmralı Prison since 1999.
Notwithstanding his long incarceration, his impact on Kurdish government is still very significant.
