Although overshadowed by the Israel-Iran war, developments following the PKK's decision to lay down arms continue to clarify within the organization. The organization's leaders are trying to convince the base of this decision.
NEW TITLE FOR DURAN KALKAN
Duran Kalkan, one of the prominent figures of the PKK, made critical statements by appearing on the terrorist organization's media outlet. Previously introduced as a "Member of the PKK Executive Committee," Kalkan appeared this time with the title of "Member of the Abdullah Öcalan Social Sciences Academy." This change is seen as a sign of the transformation occurring within the organization's internal structure.
“THERE IS NO TURNING BACK FROM THE DISSOLUTION OF THE PKK”
Kalkan stated that the organization has completely closed the armed struggle period, saying, "There is no turning back from the dissolution of the PKK. We are determined to end the armed struggle strategy. We have made a decision. We will definitely not follow an armed struggle line like before." These statements indicate that the organization has entered a radical transformation process and has clearly announced its will to end armed activities to the public.
DECISION AT THE CONGRESS: "THE NAME PKK WILL NOT BE USED"
The details of the report presented by the Kandil wing at the congress where the decision to lay down arms was made have also come to light. The report clearly stated, "From now on, activities under the name PKK will be terminated." It has been learned that the decision taken at the congress was shaped in this direction. The organization's leaders are making intense efforts to explain this decision to the organization's base, and according to incoming information, the persuasion process is largely being carried out successfully.
