Ocalan calls for PKK to drop weapons, be dissolved

Jailed PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan on Thursday called for his Kurdish militant group to lay down its weapons and dissolve itself in a landmark declaration read out in Istanbul.

"All armed groups must lay down their arms, and PKK must dissolve itself," he said in a declaration read out by a delegation of lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM party who visited him in prison earlier in the day.
