KT News and Comment:
The PKK has officially announced a ceasefire. This move is a positive response to Abdullah Öcalan’s historic Newroz message calling for the conflict between Kurds and the Turkish state to be resolved by peaceful, political means.
In a statement today, the KCK said that PKK forces will retain the right to self-defence and reprisal should they be attacked.
It called for the “establishment of decision-making and monitoring commissions” to facilitate a withdrawal of PKK forces from Turkey and for the involvement of civil society organisations in the peace process.
PKK sources have informed KT that the leadership initially intends to hold the ceasefire until the end of this year, giving Turkey plenty of time to start to deliver real change. As KT chief editor Mufid Abdulla explained yesterday, in an interview with BBC World News: “The onus is on (Turkish prime minister) Erdogan to prove that he is sincere”.
PKK military leader Murat Karayılan today also called for a worldwide campaign to pressurise Turkey to release Abdullah Öcalan for prison.
