Investing.com -- The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a Kurdish militant group, has announced its decision to end its armed struggle and dissolve its organization after 40 years of conflict with Turkey, according to a statement released by the Firat news agency on Monday.
The PKK’s decision is expected to have significant security and political impacts for the region, including Turkey and neighboring Syria, where Kurdish forces are currently engaged in battles with Turkish-backed militias.
The PKK’s decision came after its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan, called for the group to lay down its arms and dissolve. This call prompted the PKK to hold a congress last week to evaluate their struggle and decide on their future course of action.
In the statement released by the Firat news agency, the PKK declared that it has "completed its historical mission." Furthermore, the 12th Congress of the PKK decided to dissolve the organizational structure of the PKK and to end the armed struggle method, the group announced in the statement.
