Kurdish PKK says it is laying down arms in struggle against Turkey

The Kurdistan Workers Party militant group has decided to dissolve itself and end its armed struggle against Turkey, the Firat news agency, which is close to the group, says.

The group, known as the PKK, has been in conflict with Ankara for more than four decades.

The PKK says it believes Kurdish political movements will take up its separatist cause, calling for a reset of ties with Turkey.
