The Kurdish PKK militant group conducted a significant congress in northern Iraq from May 5-7, following a call for the group's dissolution by its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan.
According to the Firat news agency, affiliated with the PKK, the congress resulted in 'historic' decisions, with promises to release detailed information shortly.
