Thirty Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters laid down—and destroyed—their weapons in a symbolic disarmament ceremony on July 11 in the city of Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq’s Kurdish region.

“Today marks the beginning of a new era of Kurdish politics,” Ahmet Turk, a veteran Kurdish politician who attended the event, told the Erbil-based Rudaw news agency.
