The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) may soon begin handing over its weapons in line with a groundbreaking disarmament deal reached earlier this year, Turkey’s ruling AK Party has said.

“I don’t want to give a definite timeline at this stage,” party spokesman Omer Celik told reporters on July 1. “We’ve reached a stage where it could happen in a matter of days.”
