Turkish parliament on the evening of the 10th (local time) passed a bill establishing procedures, with judicial oversight, to disarm the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and reintegrate its members, a move the government described as significant progress toward ending a decades-long conflict. The law is not a blanket amnesty but a conditional mechanism allowing eligible low-level PKK members not involved in serious violent crimes to return from northern Iraq to Turkey and undergo formal review. It excludes imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan, senior PKK figures and members serving life or similarly heavy sentences.
