ANKARA, June 24 (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that work was underway on a legal framework that will speed up the disbandment of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, and that it would be put on parliament’s agenda without delay.
Speaking to lawmakers from his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan did not elaborate on what the legal measures would include, but said Ankara was determined to successfully conclude the peace process with the PKK and end its more than 40-year insurgency against the Turkish state.
