In a statement made on social media, Ümit Özdağ reacted to a disarmament ceremony organized by the PKK in Sulaymaniyah.
Özdağ stated, "You don't lay down arms by burning 30 rifles as if you're having a barbecue party. Weapons are seized, and ballistic examinations are conducted. PKK members surrender. They are interrogated one by one," he said.
Stating that such a practice could be viewed as a victory by the terrorist organization, Özdağ emphasized that the Zafer Party maintains a resolute stance in the fight against terrorism.
You don't lay down arms by burning 30 rifles as if you're having a barbecue party. Weapons are seized: Ballistic examinations are conducted. PKK members surrender. They are interrogated one by one. Otherwise, the PKK says 'I won,' and they are saying it.
