The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Iran perceives this move as a crucial step that could contribute positively to the overall security landscape in the region and foster peaceful relations moving forward.
Iran has welcomed the P.K.K. leader’s decision to lay down arms, viewing it as an essential step towards reducing violence and enhancing regional security. Ocalan’s call to end armed conflict may potentially usher in a new phase of stability between Turkey and its neighbors, reinforcing the need for cooperation against terrorism.
