**Submission Statement**: A disbarment ceremony took place in Iraqi Kurdistan where Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) fighters burned their weapons. This ceremony is happening as part of a peace process that their leader Abdullah Ocalan called for after around 4 decades of armed resistance against Turkey. The hope is that disarmament will lead to Turkish President Recep Erdogan and his government to grant more rights to Kurds in regions where h they form the majority.
Hope this leads to good things but somehow I doubt it. Kurds seem to get screwed over at every turn.
So what is the story here?
Did Turkey win, or is there truly a democratic path to better times for the Kurds?
Somehow I doubt it
