The Kurdish militant group, PKK, has made a significant stride toward peace as fighters in northern Iraq begin disarming, marking the first tangible step in a broader disarmament process.
This development follows PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan's call to end armed conflict, pushing the PKK to dissolve after decades of violence.
An expected ceremony between July 10-12 in Sulaymaniyah will solidify this effort, with around 40 members set to relinquish their weapons, symbolizing a step forward in fostering peace and stability in the troubled region.
