KCK Executive Council co-chair Besê Hozat announced that the unilateral ceasefire would remain in place until after the elections.

Speaking to Medya Haber TV, Hozat said: "We have decided to stop the military actions until the election is over."

The KCK had taken a decision to stop military actions (except for the right to defend themselves) after the Maraş-centered earthquakes. However, despite the decision of "inaction" taken by the KCK, Turkey continued to carry out attacks in South Kurdistan many times.
