PKK

The PKK said it will withdraw forces from Turkey as part of a disarmament process, urging Ankara to take legal steps toward Kurdish integration.

Syria has reportedly elected to only use the equipment on its northern border, to avoid further stoking the already tense relations with neighboring Israel.

ISIS terrorists targeted Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces soldiers in northeast Syria, killing five and wounding one. The SDF claims they thwarted the attack and vowed to avenge the "martyrs."

Police in Ankara said in a statement that a man detained for setting it alight suffered from psychological problems and also had a prior criminal record.

"The YPG/SDF must stop its policy of playing for time," Fidan told a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Asaad al-Shibani in Ankara.

The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkey and its Western allies, began its insurgency in 1984.

The defense ministry accused the SDF of carrying out a rocket barrage on one of the army's outposts in the city's countryside, injuring four troops and three civilians.

Drone attacks in Iraq have become more frequent in recent months, though this is the first attack near Sulaymaniyah in months, sources said.

The decision by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to lay down its arms and apparently disband has reverberated across the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.

Erdogan said the recent steps to disarm have united Turkey, and now the parliament will help facilitate the disarmament process.

The video marks a rare and pivotal moment in the long-running conflict, offering what could be Erdogan's most significant opportunity yet to seal a political settlement to the Kurdish issue.
