Following the statements of the terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, the PKK has entered a disarmament process. After the meetings and statements made, the terrorist organization PKK has started to lay down its arms as of today.
PKK HAS STARTED TO LAY DOWN ARMS
The first group of 30 people affiliated with the PKK set their weapons on fire in an area located 10-15 kilometers away from Dukan, a town in Sulaymaniyah. It was reported that the disarmament ceremony for the first group of the PKK took place in the "Casne" cave located in Sulaymaniyah province. The name of the first group that laid down their arms was announced as the "Peace and Democratic Society Group."
STATEMENT FROM MINISTER FIDAN
Following this historic development, a striking statement came from Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. In a statement he made on his social media account, Minister Fidan said: "Today, a very important and gratifying step has been taken towards the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey. It is our nation's common wish that this positive development evolves into a process that will ensure the permanent eradication of terrorism."
"WE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ON ALERT"
Our esteemed President has demonstrated historic leadership and, together with MHP Chairman Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, has shown a strong and determined will. I congratulate all our state officials who are making efforts to realize this will. We will continue to remain on alert until KCK, with all its components and elements, ceases to be a threat to our country, our nation, and our geography."
THE PROCESS WILL TAKE 3-4 MONTHS TO COMPLETE
The process will be completed in 3-4 months and will be under the supervision of MIT and TSK. Every stage of the disarmament will be monitored and recorded. It was announced that a screen will be set up near the location of the ceremony by KCK, the umbrella organization that includes the PKK, where video recordings will be published after the ceremony.
According to the information obtained, MIT and TSK were already taking necessary precautions against the possibility of this event being turned into a 'show' and provocation. It was learned that the issue was also brought up during the meeting held by the DEM Party with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the day before.
