Abstract

The article focuses on the recent disarmament of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and its implications for Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Following a ceremony in northern Iraq where PKK fighters destroyed their weapons, signaling an end to a decades-long armed conflict, Erdogan's government has expressed willingness to collaborate with pro-Kurdish lawmakers to complete the peace process. This development marks a significant shift in Turkish-Kurdish relations, potentially strengthening Erdogan's political position and enabling Turkey to focus on regional economic and strategic goals. The article also highlights the complex historical, regional, and international factors influencing the peace process, including the roles of Syria, the United States, and Kurdish political movements.
