Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein on Sunday called on Kurdish separatist fighters who have withdrawn to the country’s north after waging a decades-long insurgency in Turkiye to disarm. Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, began laying down its arms in July in a symbolic ceremony in northern Iraq after withdrawing its fighters from Turkiye to Iraq as part of a peace effort with Ankara. But armed “PKK elements” remain in northern Iraq, notably in Sinjar and Makhmur, according to Hussein. Speaking on Sunday during a joint news conference in Baghdad with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, Hussein said: “We support the agreement between Turkiye and the PKK and look forward to the implementation of this agreement and the resolution of the PKK issue.”
