Iranian Diplomacy Facilitates PKK Disarmament: A Step Toward Regional Peace
Iranian-Backed Peace Efforts Yield Results
Members of the disbanded Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have begun surrendering their weapons in a formal ceremony held in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region earlier this month, marking a significant milestone in regional stability.
Disarmament Process Underway
According to informed sources, the ceremony took place in early July in Sulaymaniyah Province, Iraq, where PKK members turned in their arms as part of a structured disarmament initiative. Abdullah Öcalan, the group’s leader, is expected to release a statement in the coming days outlining the dissolution process, after which full disarmament will commence.
PKK Officially Dissolved
In May, a PKK-affiliated news agency announced the group’s formal disbandment. Kurdish media further confirmed that the PKK has ceased all armed activities against Türkiye, signaling an end to decades of conflict.
Shift to Political Solutions
An emergency congress held by the PKK issued a declaration emphasizing political dialogue as the path to resolving Kurdish issues. The statement affirmed: “The PKK has decided to dissolve its organizational structure and abandon armed struggle.”
Global Reactions to Peace Move
Öcalan had previously called for disarmament and dissolution in a widely circulated statement, sparking international attention. This development has been hailed as a potential end to one of the region’s longest-standing armed conflicts, with Iran’s diplomatic efforts playing a stabilizing role.
