Tens of thousands of Kurds gathered in Diyarbakir, Turkey, to celebrate Newroz, the spring festival, weeks after the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) declared a ceasefire. The festival, a symbol of Kurdish culture and political aspirations, took place amid hopes for peace following decades of conflict.
The PKK’s ceasefire, announced in March 2025, marks a potential turning point in the Turkish-Kurdish conflict, with both sides awaiting further steps toward resolution.
