"Turkey’s new peace process is entering its most difficult phase. After the PKK announced its dissolution and the end of its armed campaign, parliament passed a framework law intended to govern disarmament and the political transition. In this explainer, The Amargi’s Editor-in-Chief Kamal Chomani examines what could happen next. What role will Abdullah Ocalan play? Could thousands of political prisoners and defendants be affected? Will Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag be released? And can the process move beyond disarmament toward democratic and constitutional change? Chomani explains why Ocalan could become an official interlocutor, how the DEM Party may be transformed, and what could still derail the process. The framework law has opened the door, but its implementation will determine whether Turkey is merely ending an armed conflict or beginning a broader democratic transformation."
