Why now? From the article:

"Erdogan's AK Party has begun work on changing the constitution, and there has been speculation that this would mean Erdogan would be able to run for the presidency again when his final term runs out in 2028.

The AKP and pro-Kurdish Dem party deny there is any link between the peace process and reshaping the constitution, but if Erdogan secures Dem support he would have a far greater chance of pushing through changes."

In general giving up your guns is a bad idea.

I’m sure that they’re hiding their stockpile somewhere.

Whatever else, I think the Kurds destroyed guns they don’t need. I’d bet they’re still well-armed.
