Turkey's pro-Kurdish DEM Party wants immediate steps towards democratisation from President Tayyip Erdogan's government after the peace call by the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party's (PKK),

Imprisoned Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan has called on his militant group to lay down its arms and dissolve as part of a bid to end a four-decade long conflict.

Kurdish militants who have waged a 40-year insurgency in Turkey have declared a ceasefire, just two days after their imprisoned leader called for the group to disarm.
