Turkey: Öcalan to join PKK disarmament subcommittee, advancing peace process

A senior advisor to President Erdoğan announced that imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan will participate in a parliamentary subcommittee overseeing the disarmament of the Kurdish armed group. This follows a law passed in early August, signaling a concrete step in the ongoing peace process. The move marks a significant shift, as Öcalan's direct involvement in such a mechanism is unprecedented, though the practical scope of his participation remains unclear.
