Turkey Passes Law Offering Conditional Amnesty to Thousands of PKK Members Turkey's parliament has passed a new law offering conditional amnesty to thousands of members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a move that has sparked both cautious optimism and skepticism.
The law, which was passed on August 11, 2026, provides for the reintroduction of PKK members into Turkish society.
The amnesty is tied to the disarmament of the PKK, a requirement that has been a sticking point in previous peace initiatives.
