The haunting memory of the “Mölln atrocity” continues to endure, marking a somber chapter in Germany’s history, even 31 years after the tragic event. The lives lost—Bahide Arslan (51), Ayşe Yılmaz (14), and Yeliz Arslan (10)—remain remembered, their homes consumed by arson perpetrated by Neo-Nazis in Mölln, Schleswig-Holstein, on November 23, 1992. On the 31st anniversary of this appalling massacre, a commemorative ceremony took place at Mühlen Strasse 9, where heartfelt tributes were paid.

While some remain cautious, many residents in Erbil and border areas see the move as a crucial opportunity for lasting peace.
“We hope for peace and stability,” said Erbil resident Serhang Necmettin, calling on both the PKK and Türkiye to pursue dialogue over violence. Similarly, local Turkmen Dilaver Bezirgan described the development as “an important step for coexistence.”
Nihat Cevat added, “If this process brings peace, it will end years of suffering and strengthen regional stability.”
Many in the KRG emphasized that war should no longer be the solution. “We long for peace,” said İbrahim Adnan, urging Türkiye to accelerate its support for the disarmament process.
