Turkey moves to reintegrate PKK members with new draft law to end decades-long conflict

Turkey plans to submit a draft law to permit thousands of former PKK members to return and be reintegrated, a framework aimed at disbanding the PKK and ending a decades-long insurgency that has killed tens of thousands; the bill, backed by Erdogan’s AKP and allies and broadly supported in parliament, comes despite skepticism about lasting peace, and follows the PKK’s disarmament move after Abdullah Ocalan’s appeal as the peace process stalls amid regional instability linked to the Iran war.
