PKK ceasefire agreements

PKK ceasefire agreements are formal arrangements between the Turkish government and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), aiming to pause hostilities and promote peace. These agreements typically involve the PKK suspending armed activities in exchange for negotiations on Kurdish rights, cultural recognition, and political demands. Ceasefires are often part of broader peace processes, but their success depends on mutual trust, implementation, and progress on agreed issues. While promising, these agreements can be fragile, requiring ongoing dialogue to maintain peace and address underlying conflicts.
