The Kurdish guerrilla group that fought a prolonged rebellion against Turkey on Saturday declared a demonstration fire, a few days after the invitation of its prison leader to disarm and dissolve an organization that encouraged hopes that it 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. 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.
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.
PKK said in a statement carried by the Firat news agency, the news related to PKK, that “neither of our forces will take armed actions unless attacked.”
If PKK stops fighting, laying hands and dissolving, it would solve a great domestic threat of security and indicate a political victory for Turkish President, recep Tayyip Erdogan. But there are still many unanswered questions about who will supervise the truce or what will happen to fighters who laid the weapons – or whether the government offered to Kurdish fighters in return.
The Turkish government did not immediately comment on the PKK statement or at the invitation of the group to be released by Mr. Father.
Mr. Fatherly headed after a series of interviews between the main pro -Kurdish party in Turkey and Turkish officials. 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.
Many Turks see Mr. Fatherwater as one of the greatest enemies in the country. 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.
Mr. Fatherly was convicted in 1999 for running an armed terrorist group.
In recent years, the Turkish army has degraded PKK combat capabilities, which analysts say they may have contributed to her willingness to stop fighting.
