> Turkey’s parliament approved a limited amnesty law for Kurdish PKK militants on Monday. The measure represents a major step in a peace process intended to bring decades of conflict to an end. The legislation does not cover imprisoned PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan. His release has remained a central demand of the group. The exclusion leaves a significant condition unresolved as the peace initiative moves forward.
