Turkey Passes Amnesty Law for PKK Fighters Who Disarm

Turkey's parliament has passed a law offering thousands of PKK Kurdish militants a path back to civilian life, provided the group fully disarms. The bill amounts to a conditional pardon and marks a significant shift in Ankara's decades-long approach to the Kurdish conflict. The legislation sets out identity verification and legal attestation requirements before fighters can reintegrate.
