World Service-Marcus believes that the changing climate conditions of Iraqi Kurdistan and its transformation into an established political structure have limited the PKK's space for activity and have played a role in the group's decision to move towards peace.
World Service - Eliza Markus, an American researcher and journalist in the field of Kurdish issues, referring to the peace process between the Turkish government and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), said that this group's opposition to the idea of "general amnesty" is understandable, because from the PKK's point of view, such an interpretation considers the group's struggle for Kurdish rights as a "crime".
