Peloni: The imprisoned leader of the PKK has called for the dissolution of the PKK, with the potential of ending the 40yr conflict with Turkey. It may be recalled that the Turkish nationalist Devlet Bahceli made a peace overture last October following the geopolitical earthquake which resulted from the Israeli decimation of Iran’s primary proxy force, Hezbollah, and preceded the fall of the Assad regime. Ocalan’s remark, however, not only recognizes the previous defeat of Iran’s proxy, it presents the potential of a further degradation of Iran’s power projection among the wider Kurdish enclaves situated in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey itself, all of which will benefit the rising power potential of Erdogan throughout the region.
