The jailed leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) called on Saturday for the militant group to hold a congress in order to end a three-decade insurgency against the Turkish state.
"We regard it necessary for the PKK to hold a congress to end the armed struggle against the Turkish Republic," Ocalan said in message read out by Kurdish politicians at a rally to mark the Kurdish "Newroz" New Year.
