Kurdish PKK militants to begin handing over arms in Iraq on Friday, NTV says

As part of a peace initiative, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) is set to begin a weapons handover in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq, following a call for disarmament from jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan. The process, facilitated by the pro-Kurdish DEM party, is expected to last two to five months, with militants remaining in Iraq and ceasing PKK activities.
