The Kurdish insurgent group PKK in Turkey says it will lay down its arms and disband after a decades-long fight that killed tens of thousands.

After more than a four-decade insurgency carried out by Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) against Turkey, the US-designated terror group, says it has abandoned its armed struggle against Ankara.

The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) said on Monday it would dissolve itself, in what would be a historic move after decades of conflict with Turkey that have killed tens of thousands of people.
