Curated summary
Turkish lawmakers passed a bill offering a conditional pardon to thousands of outlawed PKK fighters, described as a first legal step toward ending a conflict that has killed more than 40,000 people. The vote was 468 in favor, 88 against, with six abstentions. The law allows some fighters to return to civilian life if they disarm, suspends some prosecutions and prison terms for five to 10 years, and could free about 3,500 detainees in an initial phase.
