The PKK officially announced its dissolution early morning, declaring an end to its 47-year armed struggle, following days of anticipation. The announcement stated this decision "provides a strong foundation for permanent peace." By mid-morning, celebrations with drums and zurna erupted in Diyarbakır, while political reactions poured in throughout the day.

AKP spokesman Çelik responded first, stating the decision must encompass all PKK extensions. MHP leader Bahçeli called it a "historical threshold" and thanked Erdoğan, Öcalan, DEM Party, and the Turkish military. CHP leader Özel expressed cautious support for peace but emphasized constitutional boundaries.

President Erdoğan addressed the nation after a cabinet meeting, calling the development "crossing a critical threshold." The US Embassy described it as "a turning point," while Azerbaijan's Aliyev congratulated Turkey. Details emerged about weapons handover to Turkish forces at three designated locations.
