Turkey has begun demolishing the Gendarmerie military base in Hakkari, a site historically significant to the conflict between the Turkish state and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). This move, coinciding with renewed peace talks between the two sides, has sparked hope among locals for healing and new opportunities.
A leading figure from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has been appointed deputy to the Syrian defense minister, Damascus-run media reported Tuesday, weeks after the SDF and the interim Syrian government reached a ceasefire on January 29, ending weeks of deadly clashes.
