Turkey's parliament on Monday approved legislation introducing a conditional pardon for thousands of Kurdish militants, a move aimed at supporting the government's peace initiative with the insurgent Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The bill, described as pardon-like, would allow some PKK fighters who lay down their weapons to return to civilian life. The approval is part of a broader effort to advance peace talks with the group, which has been fighting for Kurdish rights for decades. The legislation is seen as a significant step in the government's reconciliation efforts, though details on the exact number of beneficiaries and conditions were not disclosed in the initial reports.
