Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) executive council co-chair Bese Hozat and 29 of her associates on July 10 recalled the melting down of weapons that took place one year ago in front of the historic Cesena Cave near Sulaymaniyah in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, the Hareket Yonetimi (Movement Management) said  in a written statement.

“The weapon-destruction ceremony held on July 11, 2025, symbolised a strategic transformation,” another KCK member told ANF, the news service of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, on July 12.

In May, the Apocu Hareket Yonetimi (Apoist Movement Management), held a press meeting to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the latest self-dissolution declaration by the PKK, which remains in talks with Turkey’s Erdogan administration on finding a lasting peace.

At the media conference, the PKK, which does-not-but-does exist, for the first time referred to itself as Apocu Hareket Yonetimi.

The July 10 statement showed that the name has since become Hareket Yonetimi.

Since 2005, the name KCK has also been used as the name of the umbrella organisation of the Kurdish political movement that is dominated by imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan.

Since its 1978 launch, the PKK has utilised a sophisticated “umbrella” strategy, frequently changing names to adapt to shifting legal and geopolitical dynamics. There are dozens of combinations of various sets of three letters that operate under the umbrella in question.
