Turkey says PKK disarmament could start 'within days': AK Party spokesman

The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) could start handing over its weapons "within days," a spokesman for Turkey's ruling AK Party said on Tuesday, the clearest sign yet that efforts to secure the outlawed group's disarmament may be nearing a breakthrough. Asked by reporters whether there was a timeline for the PKK militants to lay down their arms, spokesman Omer Celik said: "I don't want to give a definite timeline at this stage. (...) Now we've reached a stage where it could happen in a matter of days." Celik added that the coming days would be "extremely important for a Turkey free of terrorism." Reuters

Cyprus invites Turkey's Erdogan to summit despite long rift over 1974 invasion

Cyprus said on Monday it would invite arch-foe Turkey to a summit during its European Union presidency next year despite a decades-long rift over Ankara's 1974 invasion and its backing of a breakaway state on the divided island. Nicosia will hold the rotating EU presidency in the first six months of 2026 and plans a summit of regional leaders, including Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, on issues related to the Middle East, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said. "You can't change geography - Turkey will always be a neighbor state to the Republic of Cyprus .. Mr. Erdogan will of course be welcome to this summit to discuss developments in the area," he told journalists in Nicosia. Christodoulides had earlier said the same in a British podcast aired on Monday in response to a question, saying the summit was planned for April 2026. Reuters

Turkey-US arms spat likely to be settled by years end: US envoy

U.S. sanctions on Turkey's defense sector over its purchase of a Russian air defense system are likely to be ended by the year's end, the U.S. envoy to Ankara said Sunday. Speaking to the Anadolu state news agency, Tom Barrack said U.S. President Donald Trump and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan would instruct their top diplomats to "figure out the way and end it... My belief is that by the year end, we have the possibility of having a solution." AFP
