An important step towards a “free from terrorism” was described by a spokesman for Turkey’s ruling party, Omer Celik the PKK announcement. “The dissolution process will be thoroughly monitored and its full implementation would be a turning point,” Celik added.
The Kurdistan Labor Party () announced that its 12th Congress, which was held on May 5-7, decided to self-dissolution of the organization and end armed action, “according to the call of the prisoner of Abdullah”.
Ocalan’s appeal came after the proposal on October 22, last year, by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government partner and leader of the far -right nationalist action, Devlet Bachseli. Bachseli proposed the release of Ocalan under strictly restrictive terms if he publicly renounced the National Assembly the armed action and invite the PKK members to dismantle the organization.
Ocalan addressed on February 27, the call for disarmament and self -dissolution of the organization he himself created in 1978 and the PKK for his part declared a ceasefire on March 1.
