Turkey's pro-Kurdish DEM party reported a positive and hopeful meeting with President Erdogan, discussing ways to further the peace process. The talks aim to end a 40-year conflict with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), following a recent ceasefire prompted by leader Abdullah Ocalan's disarmament call.

In a move that could reshape the future of Turkey, the pro-Kurdish DEM party met with President Tayyip Erdogan in a notably optimistic atmosphere. The discussions centered around advancing the peace process, pivotal in resolving the decades-long conflict.

The talks are part of a comprehensive effort to bring an end to the 40-year insurgency by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a group that has been at odds with the Turkish government.

The meeting follows the PKK's recent declaration of a ceasefire, a decision made after Abdullah Ocalan, the group's imprisoned leader, called for disarmament. This initiative sets a hopeful tone for future negotiations and potential resolution.
