On 8 September, Hürriyet Daily News reported Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş saying the PKK would begin surrendering weapons to Iraq’s central government in October under the “terror-free Türkiye” project. Mawazine News later rendered his remarks as an agreement on disarming “factions” that would benefit Iraq and quoted him hoping Iraqis would eliminate terrorism and armed groups.

“Agreement on disarming the factions represents an important gain for Iraq... and that the Iraqi people would be rid of terrorism and armed groups as soon as possible.”
التوافق على نزع سلاح الفصائل يمثل مكسباً مهماً للعراق... وأن يتخلص الشعب العراقي من الإرهاب والجماعات المسلحة في أقرب وقت ممكن
The PKK-specific account places the October timetable in a Turkish initiative involving Baghdad, while Mawazine News’s wording folds it into Iraq’s wider faction-disarmament debate.
