President Barzani hails ‘highly productive’ talks with Erdogan

Shafaq News/ On Friday, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani described his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Antalya as “highly productive.”

Barzani highlighted the need to restart Turkiye’s stalled peace process as a step toward lasting regional stability.

In a post on platform X, Barzani urged the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to provide a clear and direct response to the recent urge from its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan, reiterating his backing for the resumption of peace talks in Turkiye, calling it a “historic opportunity” that should not be missed.

The discussion included Erdogan’s recent meeting with representatives of the pro-Kurdish DEM Party, the Kurdish president pointed out.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF 2025).
