Turkey says it is closely monitoring any attempts to undermine its peace initiative with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a senior official has said, following the militant Kurdish group’s announcement on Monday that it is dissolving and ending its decades-long armed conflict with the Turkish state.
The PKK, which is designated a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the EU and the US, made the announcement after its imprisoned leader called for the group to formally disband and disarm.
