The DEM Party is optimistic about the PKK's expected announcement to convene its congress, marking a significant step toward resolving the longstanding conflict with Turkey.

Leader Abdullah Ocalan's appeal for the PKK to lay down arms sparked this development, with hopes for a renewed era of peace and dialogue.

This anticipated move follows a fragile ceasefire declared in March, signifying a potential end to four decades of violence marred by intermittent peace attempts.
