PKK co-founder: Peace initiative with Turkey is frozen
Kurdish Workers' Party declared it would disarm last year after Ocalan's call, but reforms stalled and a legislative deadline passed without action.
Ocalan remains in solitary confinement on Imrali island, and PKK's mandate is blocked by Turkish military operations in northern Iraq and political prisoner detentions.
Zagros Hiwa accused Ankara of using the process for political gain, contradicting Erdogan's claim of positive peace efforts.
The conflict, ongoing since 1984, faces precarious implications due to the impasse, with PKK designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, US, and EU.
