ANKARA (Reuters) - All Kurdish militants in Iraq and Syria, including U.S.-allied Syrian Kurdish forces, must lay down their weapons after the peace call from the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Turkey's ruling AK Party said on Friday.
Thursday's call from PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan for the group to disarm and disband could potentially lead to ending a 40-year conflict and have far-reaching political and security consequences for the region.
