The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the Kurdistan Workers' Party's decision to dissolve itself, cease armed conflict, and lay down its weapons, considering it a positive and important step that contributes to enhancing security and stability in Iraq and the region.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, that "this announcement represents a real opportunity to advance peace efforts and end the protracted conflicts that have cast a shadow over the peoples of the region for decades."
The statement added, "This development also constitutes a natural pretext for reconsidering the pretexts and justifications that have long been used to justify the presence of foreign forces on Iraqi soil."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed its "support for all efforts aimed at consolidating peace and stability," emphasizing "the importance of addressing security challenges through dialogue and understanding, in order to achieve the aspirations of the region's peoples for security and development."

Since the PKK launched its insurgency in 1984 - originally with the aim of creating an independent Kurdish state - the conflict has killed more than 40,000 people, exerted a huge economic burden and fuelled social tensions.
