Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan gives a statement after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, Turkey, May 17, 2021. — Reuters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday his country had achieved victory after Kurdish rebels destroyed their weapons, ending their decades-long armed struggle against Ankara.<\/p>\n

Friday’s symbolic weapons destruction ceremony in Iraqi Kurdistan marked a major step in the transition of the Kurdistan Workers´ Party (PKK) from armed insurgency to democratic politics — part of a broader effort to end one of the region´s longest-running conflicts.<\/p>\n

“Turkey has won. Eighty-six million citizens have won,” Erdogan said. “We know what we are doing. Nobody needs to worry or ask questions. We are doing all this for Turkey, for our future”.<\/p>\n

The PKK was formed in 1978 by Ankara University<\/em> students, with the ultimate goal of achieving the Kurds´ liberation through armed struggle. <\/p>\n

It took up arms in 1984 and the ensuing conflict has cost more than 40,000 lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
