Description

""We have seen all kinds of persecution, oppression, everything. So from this hour onwards, if they (the state) want the future of Turkey, if they want Turkey to be a good environment, if they want everyone to come and live freely, they will stop this", 26-year-old Mehmet, from the Turkish city of Hakkari, close to the Iraqi border, told AFP. Thirty Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighters destroyed their weapons at a symbolic ceremony in Iraqi Kurdistan on Friday, two months after the Kurdish rebels ended their decades-long armed struggle against the Turkish state.
