Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) to heed the call of its jailed leader, Abdullah Ocalan, to disarm and disband without any conditions. This comes after Ocalan issued a historic message in late February calling for the PKK to integrate with the state and society, lay down arms, and dissolve itself. The PKK has responded by declaring a unilateral ceasefire but has set the release of their leader from prison as a precondition to making further decisions. This event took place on 03/31/2025 at the following location: Ankara, Turkey.
