A Kurdish woman attends a gathering to welcome a group of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas that is expected to surrender to Turkish military forces, in the southeastern Turkish town of Silopi, near the Iraqi border, October 19, 2009. The group of guerrillas is expected to surrender to Turkish military forces on Monday in a gesture of support for Turkey's Kurdish initiative, a PKK official said late on Saturday. Eight fighters from a PKK camp in the Kandil Mountains in northern Iraq will cross the border to Turkey on the wishes of imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, said Rouzh Welat, a member of the group's foreign affairs department.
