Turkey's ruling alliance submitted a draft law to parliament on Wednesday meant to achieve peace with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in part by protecting many former militants from prosecution, and suspending prison sentences for many of those convicted of membership. The bill aims to end a decades-old conflict in part by facilitating the return to Turkey of potentially thousands of former PKK militants based in northern Iraq.

REUTERS/Thaier Al-Sudani/ Foto d’archivio - Turkey’s ruling alliance submitted a draft law to parliament on Wednesday meant to achieve peace with the Kurdistan Workers Party in part by protecting many former militants from prosecution, and suspending prison sentences for many of those convicted of membership.
The bill, which is expected to pass the assembly later this week, aims to end a decades-old conflict in part by facilitating the return to Turkey of potentially thousands of former PKK militants based in northern Iraq. Turkey’s intelligence agency MIT would verify the group’s disarmament and a committee - including the vice president, some ministers and the head of MIT - would oversee the militants’ surrender and disarmament under the bill.
The draft law marks a leap towards ending an insurgency that has killed more than 40,000 people since 1984, sown deep discord at home and fuelled violence across borders in Iraq and Syria. ANKARA, 5 agosto - Mercoledì l’alleanza di governo turca ha presentato al parlamento un disegno di legge volto a raggiungere la pace con il Partito dei Lavoratori del Kurdistan , in parte proteggendo molti ex militanti dall’azione penale e sospendendo le pene detentive per molti di coloro che sono stati condannati per appartenenza al gruppo.
Il disegno di legge, che dovrebbe essere approvato dall’assemblea nel corso di questa settimana, mira a porre fine a un conflitto che dura da decenni, in parte facilitando il ritorno in Turchia di potenzialmente migliaia di ex militanti del PKK con base nel nord dell’Iraq. Secondo il disegno di legge, l’agenzia di intelligence turca MIT verificherebbe il disarmo del gruppo e una commissione – composta dal vicepresidente, da alcuni ministri e dal capo del MIT – supervisionerebbe la resa e il disarmo dei militanti.
Il progetto di legge segna un passo avanti verso la fine di un’insurrezione che dal 1984 ha causato la morte di oltre 40.000 persone, seminato profonda discordia all’interno del Paese e alimentato la violenza oltre confine in Iraq e in Siria.
