Istanbul, July 11, 2025 (AFP) — Turkey's pro-Kurdish DEM party on Friday hailed a "new era" following a historic disarmament ceremony at which PKK militants began destroying their weapons after ending decades of armed struggle.
"With the PKK's arms burning ceremony, we are entering a new era for a solution to the Kurdish issue and the construction of a democratic Turkey," the party said in a statement, describing it as "a turning point" for the Middle East.
