The Kurdish group's illegal Workers' Party (The Pkk) has rebelled against Türkiye for 40 years, announcing it to be placed on weapons and disbanded.

The move comes in February's call, where the group's jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan announced the disbandment. The organization is banned as a terrorist organization in Türkiye, the EU, the UK and the US.

The rebellion of the Workers' Democratic Party was originally intended to create an independent home for the Kurds, which accounted for about 20% of the Turkish population. But it has since moved away from the goal of separatism and instead focuses on more autonomy and greater Kurdish rights.

More than 40,000 people have been killed during the conflict.

In February, Ocalan, 76, called on his move to put down his arm and disband. Since 1999, leaders of the KDP have been in solitary confinement in prison on an island in the Marmara Sea in southwestern Istanbul.

Ocalan wrote a letter from a prison in February, saying: "There is no democratic choice in pursuing and realizing a political system. Democratic consensus is the basic way."

It is not clear that Ocalan and his supporters will receive the reward for disbandment, but there are speculation that he may be released on parole.

Kurdish politicians will want to have new political dialogue and hope to move towards greater Kurdish rights.

Both sides have reasons to reach an agreement now.

The PKK has been hit hard by Turkish troops in recent years, and regional changes have made it more difficult for them and their branches to operate in Iraq and Syria.

President Erdogan should run for the support of Kurdish parties again in the next presidential election held in Türkiye in 2028.

The decision to disband is an important step towards a "terrorless turkey" that will be monitored by state agencies, according to Reuters.

Winthrop Rodgers from Chatham House, an international affairs think tank, said “a major democratic transition in Turkey” would be needed to meet the demands of Kurdish parties.

Rogers said that in recent months, the "good intention" of some Turkish leaders has "good intention".

He added: “However, does this extend to the significant changes needed to ensure Kurdish full participation in politics and society.

“In many ways, the ball is in the court in Turkey.”
