Could the PKK change to a civil political party?

Kurdish Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council President, Murat Karayilan, declared that the PKK would withdraw its guerrillas gradually from Turkey, starting 8 May, 2013. This was a result of the ongoing peace talks between the PKK’s jailed leader, Abdullah Ocalan, and the Turkish government. But what PKK leaders haven’t talked about is their future political activity model; some people wonder how the PKK will change their role in Turkey and whether they plan and are capable of becoming a political party.
