The PKK terrorist group has declared a ceasefire on Saturday, in response to a call from its jailed leader.
In a statement, PKK confirmed that they would follow its jailed ringleader Abdullah Öcalan’s appeal.
It was the first reaction from the PKK after Öcalan this week called for the dissolution PKK and asked it to lay down arms.
“In order to pave the way for the implementation of leader Apo’s call for peace and democratic society, we are declaring a ceasefire effective from today,” the PKK executive committee said in a statement quoted by a news agency close to the terrorist organization.
“We agree with the content of the call as it is and we say that we will follow and implement it,” the committee said.
