The Kurdish guerrilla group that fought a prolonged rebellion against Turkey on Saturday declared a demonstration fire, a few days after the call of her prison that she had disarmed and dissolved the organization, raised her hope that she would end the conflict that killed tens of thousands of people over four decades.
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, said the end of the fire would begin immediately. But he also called Abdullah fatherlyThe founder of PKK and the leader who was in Turkish prison for a quarter of a century to be released so that he could oversee the dissolution of the group.
If the PKK dissolved, it would solve a great threat in domestic security and indicate a political victory for Turkish President, recep Tayyip Erdogan. If the negotiations teach Mr. Father’s, it could bring it to a new era of peace throughout the region in which the Kurds continued the armed struggle in the mountainous area that intersects parts of Iraq, Syria and Turkey.
But there are still many unanswered questions.
“This is just the first sentence,” said Asli Aydintasbas, a senior colleague from the Brookings Institution, about Mr. Father’s invitation to all groups to be disarmed.
It is not clear whether Turkey will stop armed surgery against PKK, who would oversee any truce or what will happen to the fighters who laid their hands. There is also the question of whether the government offered to Kurdish fighters in return.
But forced fire would allow the Kurds to start internal counseling and hold local congresses to create a democratic path forward, something that Kurds in Turkey and Syria said they wanted to do.
The PKK announcement arrived two days after Mr. Fatherly said If the group had outlived their life span and should break, a rare message of a leader with a wide impact on Kurdish fighters in Turkey, but also across the region, including Syria and Iraq.
The PKK statement, carried by the Firat news agency, news related to PKK, said that “none of our forces will take armed actions if it has not been attacked.”
In recent years, the Turkish army has degraded PKK combat capabilities, which analysts say they may have contributed to her willingness to discuss the termination of the fight.
PKK fighters respect their leader, Mr. Father’s father, and he is expected to look out for his call, but the conditional statement of the group suggests that they will continue to use their influence in the negotiation process.
“For these types of organizations, fires are a means of buying time, overcoming military downtime and smoothly through cracks among members,” said Oytun Orhan, an analyst from the Middle East Center, based in the Turkish capital of Ankara.
The Turkish government did not immediately comment on the PKK statement or at the invitation of the group to be released by Mr. Father.
But on Friday, Mr. Erdogan welcomed Mr. Father’s appeal, followed by a series of interviews involving Turkish officials; Mr. Fatherly; and members of the main Turkish Pro-Curd Party, People’s Party for Equality and Democracy or DEM
“We have a historic opportunity to take a step towards the demolition of the terror of the terror” between Turk and Kurd, he said. He added that Turkish officials would follow the work on the end of the conflict, without elaborating what it would mean.
Mr. Erdogan said in January that the PKK Government offered any concessions.
PKK began as a secessionist group that sought to create an independent state for the Turkish Kurdish minority, but in recent times he said he was seeking greater rights for Kurds within Turkey.
Turkey, the United States and other countries are classified by Mr. Obalan as a terrorist, and PKK as a terrorist group for their attacks that killed Turkish security forces and civilians. Many of the Turks see Mr. Fireman, who was convicted in 1999 that he had led an armed terrorist group, as one of the greatest enemies in the country.
Turkey and PKK have tried to resolve the conflict over the years, recently through peace negotiations that began in 2011. Negotiations broke up in 2015, starting in the deadly new phase.
But last October, made a powerful political ally of Mr. Erdogan Surprising public call Mr. Father’s, asking him to tell his fighters to lay their hands and end the conflict. Doing so, the politician said, he could open the way for his lifelong punishment to end.
