We welcome the PKK's decision to disband, disarm, and heed Mr. Ocalan's call, considering it a pivotal step that opens a new chapter in the region. This step reflects political maturity and lays the groundwork for genuine dialogue, which will promote coexistence and stability in Turkey and the wider region.
The present moment is crucial, and there is a collective anticipation that this significant action will be met with further constructive measures from all involved parties. It will foster an environment conducive to enduring and comprehensive peace, ultimately bringing an end to years of conflict and hardship while guiding the region towards new avenues of advancement.
In acknowledging President Erdogan's contributions and commitment to ensuring the success of this process, we reaffirm the Kurdistan Region's unwavering support for all endeavors aimed at achieving peaceful conflict resolution. We hope that this initiative marks a significant turning point and wish to convey our complete readiness to provide any necessary support to facilitate the success of this historic opportunity.

President of the Kurdistan Region
