Synopsis

The resumption of armed violence between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), after the collapse of the ceasefire in 2015, has put the Kurdish question into a dark period of uncertainty.

The polarization of the domestic political discourse is increasing and therefore political dissent on any contentious issues, including, of course, the Kurdish question, is dealt by Ankara in a heavy-handed fashion. These developments in combination with the recent failed coup against Turkish President Erdogan and Turkey’s involvement in the Syrian civil war create an explosive mix of instability in Turkey and the region.

The presentation  will analyse the domestic and regional challenges vis-a-vis the Kurdish question in Turkey and its neighbouring region and will consider some possible scenarios that might evolve from the current situation.
