"From now on, we will wait for the Turkish state," commander Amed Malazgirt told AFP.
The PKK has two main demands in the continuing process.
"First, the freedom of the leader Apo. Without it, the process will not succeed. The second is the constitutional and official recognition of the Kurdish people in Turkey," says Malazgirt, who by "Apo" refers to Öcalan.
The peace process between Turkey and the terrorist PKK began this spring. The PKK promised to lay down its arms and instead seek peace through democratic means.
In October, the PKK announced that it was withdrawing its combat units from Turkey to northern Iraq.
It was 76-year-old Öcalan, imprisoned since 1999 and the founder of the movement, who announced in February from prison in Turkey that the armed struggle would transition into a peaceful political struggle.
The conflict has lasted for over 40 years and has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
