The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK)'s decision to dissolve marks a pivotal moment both for Kurdish people and the broader Middle East, said Tayip Temel, deputy co-chair of the pro-Kurdish DEM Party, on Monday.

Temel emphasized that this development not only signifies the end of the PKK as an entity but also heralds a substantial transformation. This shift may compel Turkey to alter its long-standing official state policies and could lead to a new ideological framework.

This decision suggests a reevaluation of regional dynamics and has been described as the beginning of a new chapter in Kurdish political activism and relations across the Middle East.
