Turkey is in talks with authorities in Baghdad and in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil on how the PKK will hand over their weapons, President Tayyip Erdogan said following the group's decision to disband.
"Talks are being held with our neighbouring countries on how the weapons of terrorists outside our borders will be handed over. There are plans regarding how the Baghdad and Erbil administrations will take part in this process," Erdogan said, according to a transcript of remarks he made to journalists on his return flight from Albania overnight.
The PKK , which has been locked in bloody conflict with Turkey for more than four decades, has decided to disband and end its armed struggle, group members and Turkish leaders said on Monday.
