On July 11, the terrorist organization PKK, which burned weapons in Northern Iraq, announced today that it would make a historic statement. The organization, which held a press conference attended by 25 terrorists, declared that it has completely withdrawn from Turkey.

HISTORIC DECISION FROM THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

According to the statement made in Northern Iraq, the organization announced that it has ended its activities in Turkey. The statement said, "Due to the fact that the conflicts and wars occurring in the Middle East have become a serious threat to the future of Turkey and the Kurds; the process that began with the statements of Abdullah Öcalan last year, and gained identity with Öcalan's call for 'Peace and Democratic Society' on February 27, 2025, is going through an extremely important and critical phase."

In the organization's statement, which noted that significant steps have been taken in the past 8 months, the following expressions were included: "These historical steps taken by the Kurdish side under the leadership of Abdullah Öcalan and the PKK have deeply affected the political and social environment of Turkey, creating a new spirit and will towards peace and democratization. The courageous and self-sacrificing attitude of the Kurds in favor of peace, democracy, and freedom has generally been appreciated both inside and outside Turkey.

"WE MADE THIS DECISION WITH ABDULLAH ÖCALAN'S APPROVAL"

In this regard, we are carrying out the withdrawal of all our forces in Turkey, which pose a risk of conflict and are open to possible provocations, based on the approval of Abdullah Öcalan, as planned under the 12th Congress Decisions. Some of the groups that have reached the Media Defense Areas are currently here and are personally participating in this statement. Additionally, similar corrective measures are being taken in positions that pose a risk of conflict and are open to possible provocations in the border areas."
