PKK evacuates four shelter areas in northern Iraq

Security sources have announced that the PKK/KCK has evacuated four shelter areas located in the Metina and Zap regions of northern Iraq. The specific areas vacated as of October 8, 2026, are identified as Hebat, Yajk, Sabri, and Sason.

This movement is described as a key component of a broader national solidarity and social integration process intended to strengthen regional stability and foster Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood. The initiative is characterized as a historic turning point for the country's future.

Following the cessation of activities by the organization, the next phases of the process aim to facilitate social consensus. This includes implementing legal frameworks to allow members to return to Turkey and integrating them into society through comprehensive programs in sectors such as education and the economy.
