Supporters of Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) hold pictures of jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, as they go with eight fighters from a PKK camp to Turkey, in Dahuk, 400 km (245 miles) north of Baghdad, October 19, 2009. A small group of Kurdish separatist guerrillas surrendered to the Turkish army after returning from Iraq on Monday in a gesture of rebel support for government plans to expand Kurdish rights. Eight militants from a Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) camp in the Qandil Mountains in northern Iraq crossed a border gate near the town of Silopi in Turkey's southeast where thousands of supporters were awaiting them with PKK flags.
