Turkey: Kurds torn between fear and hope after PKK’s historic call for peace

It hadn’t happened in ten years : in early March, the leader and founder of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, Abdullah Öcalan, called from prison for disarmament, the dissolution of the PKK and a ceasefire with Turkey. This historic decision has had repercussions in Syria and Iraq, but its full consequences for the Kurds in Turkey aren’t still being fully understood. In Diyarbakir, the victims of the conflict between the PKK and the Turkish authorities live between fear and hope and still demand basic rights. FRANCE 24’s Jenna Lebras has this report.
