Kurdish rebels to start retreating from Turkey

Kurdish rebels have confirmed that they will start withdrawing forces from Turkey to bases in northern Iraq on Wednesday.                 

The Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, declared a cease-fire in March and promised to pull fighters out of Turkey as part of peace talks aimed at ending a nearly three-decade-old conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people. The group has been fighting Turkey for autonomy.                      

A rebel statement said Tuesday that a first group of fighters will leave Turkey on Wednesday and be settled in bases in northern Iraq within a week.                     Both Turkey and the PKK have said the withdrawal will take place quietly and without fanfare.         

Selahattin Demirtas, leader of a pro-Kurdish political party, said the full withdrawal of forces could take three to four months.
