Qandil Moutains, Iraq, Oct 26, 2025 (AFP) — Securing the release of the jailed founder of the Kurdish militant PKK is "crucial" for the success of the emerging peace process with Turkey, one of the group's senior leaders told AFP.
Abdullah Ocalan's "freedom is crucial for this process to advance with greater effectiveness," Devrim Palu told AFP in an interview in northern Iraq after the PKK said it was withdrawing all its fighters from Turkey.
