Summary
Turkey's Parliament passed a law establishing a legal framework for the dissolution of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the reintegration of its members, marking a transformative step towards peace after decades of conflict. The law offers legal protections and a path for exiles to return, with the PKK holding a symbolic weapon-burning ceremony in July 2025 to begin disarmament. This peace process, achieved without foreign mediation, aims to transform the struggle for Kurdish rights into a nonviolent political one, impacting Turkey's relations with Kurdish communities domestically and regionally.
