Several members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) are set to disarm in Sulaimani province within the next two weeks, as part of the peace process with Ankara, two well-informed sources told Zoom News. The fighters will reportedly descend from the mountains to lay down and burn their weapons as a gesture of goodwill, with imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan expected to deliver a message ahead of the disarmament.
