General Mazloum Abdi, Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, regarding the self-dissolution and cessation of armed struggle by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK):
—”The PKK’s decisions to dissolve its organizational structure, end its armed struggle, and initiate a democratic political process, made in response to the call of leader Öcalan, are worthy of respect.
The PKK has played a historic and pivotal role in the transformations of the Middle East. We believe this new step will pave the way for a new political and peaceful process in the region.
We hope all relevant parties will take the necessary actions and that all allies will provide the required support.”
