Turkish Parliament Debates PKK Amnesty Without Using Word 'Kurds'

In Turkey on 10 August 2026, parliament passed a law that Turkish outlets call the 'Terror-Free Türkiye' law, also described as the 'National Solidarity' bill. Reuters and China Daily describe it as a legal framework to advance the PKK peace process and disarmament, and several outlets say it provides for the reintegration of PKK militants. Al Jazeera calls it a pardon-like bill covering thousands of PKK fighters.

German-language outlets describe it as a PKK amnesty law, and Die Presse noted that parliament debated the amnesty without using the word 'Kurds'. Le Monde notes that the fate of Abdullah Öcalan is still unresolved.
