When the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) announced last month that it would disband and end its decades-long insurgency against Turkey, Leila hoped she might soon be reunited with her son.
Three years ago, the former sandwich seller left home to join the group - proscribed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US, UK and EU - in the remote Qandil Mountains, near Iraq's border with Iran.
Apart from two videos he's sent, the last in March, Leila hasn't seen him since.
"When I first heard about the announcement I was very happy," says Leila, whose name we have changed because she fears reprisals from the group.
"But as time has passed, nothing has changed."
