Istanbul, Feb 27, 2025 (AFP) — Jailed PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan on Thursday called for his Kurdish militant group to lay down its weapons and dissolve itself in a landmark declaration read out in Istanbul.

"All armed groups must lay down their arms and PKK must dissolve itself," he said in a declaration read out by a delegation of lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM party who visited him in prison earlier in the day.
