Turkey’s parliament opens debate on a pardon-like bill for thousands of PKK militants

The Turkish parliament began debating a legislative proposal on Monday aimed at providing a conditional amnesty for thousands of PKK militants. The bill introduces a pardon-like mechanism designed to facilitate the government's ongoing peace initiative with the Kurdish insurgency.

This parliamentary move represents a significant step in the state's efforts to resolve the long-standing conflict with the PKK. By offering legal pathways for militants, the government seeks to advance its broader peace agenda through formal legislative channels.
