Türkiye'nin 8.Cumhurbaşkanı Özal'ın iç ve dış konjonktür uygun olmamasına rağmen 13 Mart 1992'de yapılan MGK toplantısında, yakın çalışma arkadaşları ile birlikte aylar süren çalışma ve araştırmalar sonucunda hazırlanan PKK terörünün bitirilmesi, Kürt sorununun çözümü konusunda genel af da dahil olmak üzere siyasal ve sosyal çözümleri içeren öneri paketlerini sunması toplantının gergin geçmesine neden olmuştu.

PKK sadece sahada terör saldırıları yapan bir örgüt değildi; bilinmek, görünmek, hissedilmek, ciddiye alınmak istiyordu. Pusuya yatıp güvenlik görevlilerimizi şehit ederken aynı zamanda ülke geneline de korku, tedirginlik, huzursuzluk yaymayı hedefliyordu. Kendi kavramlarını üretmişti: Uyguladığı teröre “savaş”, “mücadele”, “halk kurtuluş savaşı”, “bağımsızlık savaşı”, örgütüne “ordu”, militanlarına “savaşçı”, “gerilla”, ölülerine “şehit”, yakalanan terör suçlularına ve en başta Öcalan'a “esir, tutsak” diyordu. PKK'nın bu kavramsallaştırması karşısında devlet ise örneğin “savaş” kavramına karşı “terörle mücadele” kavramını kullanıyor, terör örgütünün kavramlarına “sözde” sıfatını ekleyerek etkisizleştirmeye çalışıyordu.

The United States has pulled its troops out of Syria, ending a decade-long presence. But the fight isn’t over. As power shifts on the ground, Kurdish forces, regional tensions, and fragile negotiations are reshaping the country’s future. What’s behind the decision, and what comes next?

Dans la nuit du 9 au 10 janvier 2013, au 147 rue La Fayette, dans le Xe arrondissement de Paris, les corps de trois femmes sont retrouvés dans les locaux du Centre d'information sur le Kurdistan. Toutes trois étaient membres du PKK, le Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan. Les autorités françaises ouvrent une enquête. Conclusion : l'assassinat est l'œuvre d'un professionnel. Pourtant, le premier suspect sur la liste est Omer Güney, le chauffeur et homme à tout faire d'une des victimes. Cette affaire, restée à ce jour non élucidée, n'exclut pas l'hypothèse selon laquelle le suspect aurait agi en tant qu'agent infiltré du MIT, les services secrets turcs. Cette semaine, dans "Nid d'espions”, Charlotte Baris et Charlotte Lalanne, grand reporter au service Monde de L'Express, vous racontent comment les services secrets turcs ont réussi à atteindre la communauté kurde, sur le sol français, en toute impunité. “Nid d'espions” est un podcast de L'Express, consacré au renseignement, et au rôle majeur des espions dans les moments clés de l'Histoire.

Drink from this well and you will never be thirsty. Hearing the truth refreshes us. Infiltrate the universities and you will soon control the government. Qatar is suing to hide Texas funding records. Our oil refineries are in danger. Shaping what's considered normal. Turkey and the Islamic Brotherhood are tied. Remember that Turkey is a NATO member. An attack on one member is an attack on all. The S-400 moment. Erdogan is not confused. He has a vision. The playbook was perfected in Syria. Nobody is connecting the Iraq part of the story. Iraq is all about oil and has only two ways to export it. Why Northern Iraq was eliminated. Kurdish revenues have been hurt too. Controls are now placed on choke points. Steal it or pump it because the oil has to move. The PKK enters the picture. Desalination plants are under threat. Every dependency is a lever. What's happening in Iraq is extortion. Some want to be in the background and not the main story. Why would Russia turn off Turkey's gas? LNG carrier rates suffer big shocks. Qatar too. There will be explosions in our country. Let's apply the Brotherhood designations consistently. We're in the long game stage now. Hold on tight and may God bless America.

The Turkish government is warning the United States and Israel against involving Iran's Kurdish minority in the war against the Iranian regime. Home to millions of Kurds, Turkey fears any such move could destabilise its ongoing peace process with Kurdish militants calling for an autonomous state. Concentrated in north-western Iran along the borders with Turkey and Iraq, Kurds are estimated to make up 8 to 17 percent of Iran's population.  As the war in the Middle East continues, several international news agencies reported talks between US officials and armed Iranian Kurdish groups. Seeking to assuage Turkish concerns, President Donald Trump last weekend ruled out such a move. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan welcomed Washington's assurances, but warned the threat remained. "Israel's intentions on this matter are no secret," he told reporters. "Israel has for years used Kurdish groups in the region as a proxy." Home to a large Kurdish minority, Turkey has fought a bitter war for decades against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is designated by Washington and the European Union as a terrorist organisation. Last year the PKK ended its armed struggle and committed to disbanding in a peace agreement with Turkey, but its affiliates in Syria and Iran are not part of this process – a distinction that keeps Ankara wary. "The Syrian branch of the PKK gave Turkey a hard time. Just as an autonomous zone within Syria was unacceptable, a PKK affiliate running the Iranian Kurdistan would be unacceptable – that's basically the state's position," explains Turkish international relations expert Soli Ozel. "They don't want a Kurdish independent state or an autonomous state anywhere in the region, because they think that it would contaminate [other Kurdish populations]." Turkey looks for regional help in its battle against Kurdish rebels in Iraq 'Dangerous gambit' For a decade, Turkey's military fought the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Ankara accuses of ties to the PKK. Earlier this year, the new Damascus regime, backed by Ankara, retook most of the SDF's territory.  "Israel has a very long history with the PKK. They definitely have relations with SDF," claims Serhan Afacan, head of the Centre for Iranian Studies, a think tank based in Turkey. "So Israel can always go and try to support these Kurdish groups in Iran." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to Iran last Sunday, called on Iranians to rise up against the regime. "It is becoming clear that regime change is not an attainable goal just through bombing," says Asli Aydintasbas, a political commentator and Turkey specialist at the Washington-based Brookings Institution. "So I think Israelis are exploring other options, including ethnic competition domestically, working with ethnic groups, including Kurds." However, Aydintasbas warns that any attempt by Iranian Kurds to carve out an autonomous region would not only be met by strong resistance from Ankara, but also from Tehran. "The Iranian regime, though it's been unable to resist US operations and military strikes, still retains a significant amount of military power, at least enough to suppress its own people," she says. "This is a very dangerous gambit for all involved, including the Kurds." 'War with no winners': Middle East crisis enters a dangerous new phase Tensions with Israel Israel's support for Kurdish groups tied to the PKK has exacerbated Israeli-Turkish tensions, already running high amid Israel's war in Gaza and competition for regional influence. Analyst Ozel believes any Israeli support for Iranian Kurdish groups would fit with its long-term strategy for Iran and the wider region. "The Israelis would rather have a chaotic Iran than an Iran that has actually managed better, because no matter who runs Iran, I don't think they can play Israel's music," he argues. "But the real threat, as far as Israel is concerned, is to have a rival that has the weight to play the strategic game... which I think is one of the reasons why plenty of Israelis in positions of authority constantly attack Turkey these days, saying Turkey is the new Iran." Israel claims its attacks on Iran aim only to protect its security. However, Israeli support for Iranian Kurds would bring it into conflict with Ankara, a close Washington ally. For Trump, balancing Israeli and Turkish interests could be a major challenge in his campaign in Iran.

Los kurdos se encuentran frente a un paradoja: son indispensables cuando Occidente necesita aliados en la región, pero son abandonados cuando llegan los momentos de tomar decisiones políticas. El acuerdo firmado a finales de enero entre Siria y los kurdos sirios detuvo el sueño de un gran Kurdistán. La pérdida de autonomía del Rojava ha reavivado un sentimiento de inseguridad. 

Från 2022. En vecka in i utredningen av Palmemordet påbörjar DN-journalisten Ann-Marie Åsheden ett projekt, i hemlighet ska hon få följa Palmeutredningen inifrån, genom dagliga intervjuer med spaningsledaren Holmér. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. I 36 år har de 90 kassettbanden med unika inspelningar från Palmeutredningens första år legat inlåsta. Ingen har hört dem. Ann-Marie Åsheden är den enda person som har tillgång till dem. Och för första gången har hon bestämt sig för att släppa på sekretessen.Spaningsledare för Palmemordet: Hans HolmérI Hans Holmérs förstahandsberättelse får vi höra om 33-åringen, Skandiamannen, och det som blev Hans Holmérs huvudspår: kurdiska PKK.Med tiden blir Holmér allt mer ifrågasatt. Men i början är han en superstjärna. Sveriges viktigaste person, som alla lyssnar på.På de hemliga kassettbanden berättar han fritt och ocensurerat. Han kastas mellan hoppet om att hitta mördaren, och förtvivlan över att inse att han kanske misslyckas med att lösa Palmemordet.Medverkande:Mårten Palme, son till Olof Palme.Ann-Marie Åsheden, journalist.Christina Jutterström, fd chefredaktör, DN.Hans Wranghult, fd bitr. spaningsledare.Hans Holmér, fd spaningsledare (från kassett/arkiv).Serien ”Palmeutredningen inifrån” är gjord av produktionsbolaget Banda, för P3.Av: Lovisa Lamm Nordenskiöld.Producent: Hugo Lavett.Redaktörer: Simon Moser och Robert Barkman.Research & reporter: Sonia Hultqvist.Exekutiv producent: Jon Jordås.Publicerad: 2022.

Terörsüz Türkiye sürecinde ikinci aşamaya geçildi. İmralı'nın "PKK'nın feshedilmesine yönelik" açılamasının üzerinden bir yıl geçti. Açıklamanın birinci yılında; İmralı'dan yeni mesajlar geldi. Abdullah Öcalan, ilk aşamanın tamamlandığını, ikinci aşamada yasal düzenlemelerin yapılması gerektiğine dikkat çekti. Açıklamasında demokratik entegrasyon, demokratik toplum vurgusu yaptı. Vatandaşlık tanımı üzerinden bir tarifte de bulundu. "Vatandaşlık ilişkisi millete aidiyet üzerinden değil, devlete bağlılık esas alınarak kurulmalıdır" dedi. Kayıttayız'da hem bu mesajlar hem de süreçte bundan sonraki aşama konuşuldu.

Les Kurdes se retrouvent face à un paradoxe : indispensables quand l'Occident a besoin d'alliés dans la région, abandonnés lorsque vient l'heure des choix politiques. L'accord signé fin janvier entre la Syrie et les Kurdes syriens a mis un coup d'arrêt au rêve d'un grand Kurdistan. La perte d'autonomie du Rojava a ravivé un sentiment d'insécurité. Reportage de Pauline Godart, Amar Al-Hameedawi et Dida Faridoon.

For the Kurdish people, history seems to repeat itself. Kurdish forces are an asset for the West when allies are needed in the region, but left aside when political choices need to be made. The agreement signed at the end of January between Damascus and the Syrian Kurds dealt a blow to the dream of a greater Kurdistan. Our team reports from Syria and Iraq.

L'accord conclu début février 2026 en Syrie entre le gouvernement et les FDS, Forces Démocratiques Syriennes, a été scruté de près par la communauté kurde turque, alors qu'un processus de paix a débuté en 2024 entre le gouvernement d'Ankara et le PKK, Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan. En Turquie, la communauté kurde partagée entre espoir, doute et désillusion Elle a suivi de très près l'accord conclu début février 2026 entre les Forces démocratiques syriennes (FDS) et les autorités de Damas, ainsi que les trois semaines d'offensive de l'armée syrienne qui l'ont précédé. Un décret octroie désormais des droits nationaux aux Kurdes de Syrie, le kurde sera langue officielle comme l'arabe, mais ces derniers voient s'envoler la perspective d'un territoire autonome. De l'autre coté de la frontière, ces événements ont ravivé les inquiétudes chez les Kurdes de Turquie alors que le gouvernement d'Erdogan est engagé dans un processus de paix avec le PKK, Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, depuis 2024. Reportage à Ankara Anne Andlauer.   Terres rares et industrie européenne  L'Estonie accueille la première usine d'Europe de fabrication d'aimants permanents. Ces aimants faits d'un alliage de métaux rares ou de terres rares décuple les capacités des moteurs électriques. Une branche industrielle stratégique, dont la production dépend encore de la Chine à 90%. Même si la société Néo est canadienne, rapatrier cette production sur le territoire de l'UE participe à l'autonomie stratégique, mais aussi, grâce au soutien de la Commission européenne, au développement d'un territoire en difficulté économique. Reportage de notre correspondante dans la région, Marielle Vitureau.   La chronique musique de Vincent Théval :  Antartica de Marta del Grandi (Italie)   Au salon professionnel Wine Paris, les producteurs européens saluent l'accord UE-Mercosur L'édition 2026 de ce salon de référence, qui a accueilli pendant trois jours 6 500 exposants représentant 60 pays, a été assombrie par la chute vertigineuse du marché et le recul des exportations. Il a donc été beaucoup question des récents accords de libre-échange et notamment de celui conclu avec le Mercosur. Jordi Lafon-Lacaze s'y est rendu au Parc des Expositions.

Syriens Kurden wehren sich gegen Damaskus. Die humanitäre Lage im belagerten Kobane ist katastrophal.

The Syrian Army has made sweeping gains against Kurdish-led forces in northeast Syria, dealing a major blow to Syrian Kurdish autonomy and handing victories to both Damascus and neighbouring Turkey. With Washington abandoning its backing of the militia alliance, the Syrian Democratic Forces now face disbandment or renewed fighting. Within days, Syrian government troops swept aside the SDF and took control of vast areas of territory. The offensive followed the collapse of talks on integrating the SDF into the Syrian Army. Washington's shift proved decisive. “The game changer was the American permission, the American green light to [Syrian President] Ahmed al-Sharaa. That opened the door to Damascus launching the offensive,” said Syria expert Fabrice Balanche, of Lyon University. The SDF had been a key US ally in the fight against Islamic State and relied on American support to deter an attack by Damascus. But with Islamic State now weakened and Sharaa joining Washington's alliance against the group, the Kurds lost their leverage. “Trump viewed the relationship as temporary, not a true alliance,” said Balanche, a municipal councillor with France's rightwing Republicans party. French journalist arrested in Turkey while covering pro-Kurdish protest released US withdrawal and rapid collapse As Washington ended its support, many Arab tribes quit the Kurdish-led coalition. They aligned with Damascus, allowing government forces to advance quickly in Arab-majority areas. Several prisons holding Islamic State members fell to government control, with reports that hundreds escaped. Fears of wider instability pushed Washington to broker a ceasefire between the SDF and the Syrian government. Under the deal, SDF forces are to disband and merge into Syrian government units, a move backed by Ankara. Turkey has strongly supported the Damascus offensive. It accuses Kurdish elements within the SDF of links to the PKK, which has fought a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state. “Turkey is certainly behind all these operations,” said international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “The Turkish defence minister, General Chief of Staff, has recently been in Syria. So there is probably a common action.” Turkey blocks calls for regime change in Iran as protests escalate Kurdish tensions inside Turkey The assault has triggered protests by members of Turkey's large Kurdish minority in support of Syrian Kurds. It has also coincided with talks between the pro-Kurdish Dem Party, the Turkish government and the outlawed PKK aimed at ending the conflict. The PKK declared a ceasefire and pledged to disband last year, but talks stalled months ago. Ankara has blamed the deadlock on the SDF's refusal to join the PKK's disarmament commitment. The fighting in Syria could deepen Kurdish disillusionment with the peace process, political analyst Sezin Oney, of the Politikyol news portal, warned. “They pictured this peace process as a big win for the PKK that finally all these rights, all the political rights, cultural rights, everything would be recognized, and a new era would begin," Oney said. "It's not that, and it won't be that there is nobody in Turkey on the side of the government who was envisioning such a change or anything of the sort." The Dem Party had few options left. “The only thing Dem can do is rally the Kurdish public in Turkey, and it is just going to be disbursed,” Oney added. Syrian army offensive in Aleppo draws support from Turkey Risk of wider bloodshed Turkish police have broken up many pro-SDF protests using water cannon and gas, carrying out hundreds of arrests. French journalist Raphael Boukandoura was detained and later released, in a move rights groups said was meant to intimidate foreign media. Without US intervention, Damascus would push further into Kurdish-held areas, Balanche warned. “Sharaa will seize everything." The risk of large-scale violence, he added, was growing in a region marked by tribal rivalries and years of war. “Northeastern Syria is a very tribal area. The tribal leaders who are mobilizing their groups, their fighters, and they're attacking," Balanche said. “Because of 10 years of civil war, you have a lot of vengeance that was under the table, and now everything is exploding. So it could be very bloody.”

Turkey is opposing calls for regime change in Iran as security forces carry out a deadly crackdown on nationwide protests. The Turkish government accuses Israel of exploiting the unrest, and is leading efforts to block any military action against Iran – warning that a collapse of the regime could destabilise the region. Since protests began across Iran almost three weeks ago, Turkey has tried to play down the scale of the unrest. It has distanced itself from Western allies calling for regime change and avoided offering explicit support for those demands. The protests began on 28 December after a currency collapse triggered demonstrations by merchants and traders in Tehran. The unrest quickly spread nationwide. Activists say more than 2,000 protesters have been killed. Alongside Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar, Turkey has lobbied Washington against any military response to the killings. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said such a move would worsen the situation. “We oppose military intervention against Iran; Iran must resolve its own problems,” Fidan said. “We want the issue resolved through dialogue.” France summons Iran envoy over 'unrestrained' protest crackdown Fear of regional collapse According to The Guardian newspaper, US President Donald Trump's decision to step back from attacking Iran was influenced by Turkey and its Arab allies – who warned of regional chaos if an attack went ahead. Turkey fears that Iran could descend into civil war similar to Iraq after the collapse of its regime, said Serhan Afacan, head of the Ankara-based Center for Iranian Studies, adding the consequences would be more severe due to Iran's size and diversity. “Iran has a population of about 90 million, including many ethnic minorities such as Turks, Kurds, Arabs and Baluchis,” Afacan explained. “If a conflict erupts among these groups, it could result in a prolonged civil war. Any resulting immigration from Iran to Turkey could reach millions.” Turkey and Iran unite against Israel as regional power dynamics shift PKK security fears Turkey already hosts about three million refugees. Experts say Ankara's biggest security concern is the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has fought Turkey for an independent Kurdish state and has an Iranian affiliate, PJAK. Although the PKK announced a ceasefire last year and pledged to disband, Ankara fears unrest in Iran could give the group new opportunities, said Iranian expert Bilgehan Alagoz, of Marmara University. “Day by day, we have started to see the PKK groups in certain cities of Iran demanding some separatist demands, and this is the main concern for Turkey,” he said. Ankara also accuses Israel of exploiting the situation in Iran. “Israel has targeted all these PKK groups and tried to motivate the PKK groups inside Iran,” Alagoz said. “Any instability inside Iran can create a space for the PKK.” Fidan has also accused Israel of manipulating the protests. Turkey is already confronting another PKK-linked group in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces, which controls large parts of the country. Ankara accuses Israel of supporting the SDF, adding Iran to a broader Israeli-Turkish regional rivalry. France's Iranian diaspora divided over deadly protests back home Energy pressure Turkey could also clash with Washington over Iran if the protests continue. Trump has warned that countries trading with Tehran could face 25 percent tariffs. Iran supplies Turkey with about one-fifth of its gas needs, according to Atilla Yesilada, an analyst at the Global Source Partners think tank. “Iran pumps 10 billion cubic metres of gas to Turkey every year, roughly one-fifth of total consumption,” he said. That supply could theoretically be replaced by liquefied natural gas imports, but Yesilada warned that Turkey is already struggling to cut its dependence on Russia, its main energy supplier. “Combine this with increasing American and EU pressure to cut gas purchases from Russia, and Turkey is in a very difficult situation,” he said.

Turkey has backed a Syrian army offensive against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, despite a fragile ceasefire backed by the United States. Aleppo has seen its worst fighting in years, as the Syrian army moved to oust the SDF from two large, mainly Kurdish neighbourhoods in the north of the city. The clashes began in late December and continued into January, forcing many civilians to flee. The SDF controls a large swathe of northern and eastern Syria. The offensive comes as efforts to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army stalled. “This is a warning. It is a kind of pressure on the SDF to come to a conclusion quickly, rather than to kick the can down the road with Damascus,” Aydin Selcen, a former senior Turkish diplomat who served in the region, told RFI. Turkey's backing Ankara, which has recently reopened channels with Damascus after years of strained relations, strongly backs the offensive and has signalled its readiness to provide military support against the SDF. “Turkey has the military advantage there, and I believe the SDF should take these warnings seriously,” Selcen said. He is now an analyst for the Turkish news portal Medyascope. Turkey accuses the SDF of links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, the PKK, which has fought an insurgency against the Turkish state for decades. The PKK is designated a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union. Turkey is also pursuing a renewed peace initiative with the PKK and sees the integration of the SDF into the Syrian army as key to stabilising northern Syria. US pushes Israel to accept Turkish role in Gaza stabilisation force Stalled integration In March last year, the SDF signed an agreement in Damascus to integrate with the Syrian army. The deal set out broad principles but left key questions unresolved. “There was a discrepancy from the beginning in what the parties understood integration to mean,” said Sezin Oney, of the Turkish Politikyol news portal. “In Turkey's case, they mean integration in such a way that it melts into the Syrian army. But the SDF understands it as integrating while protecting its inner core and identity. Remaining as the SDF, but operating under the umbrella of the Syrian army. “Unless one of the parties backs down and makes concessions, we are likely to see a bigger military operation.” International stakes On Thursday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa held telephone talks with his French and Turkish counterparts on the security situation. The discussions focused on containing the fighting and preserving the ceasefire. Despite its precarious position, the SDF retains influential supporters. Israel, an increasingly vocal critic of Turkey's regional role, has expressed support for the group. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar condemned Damascus's operations in Aleppo. The SDF remains a key partner of the United States Central Command in operations against the Islamic State group in Syria. “The SDF lost a lot of troops, at least 10,000 fighters, in the fight against ISIS since 2014,” said Turkish international relations expert Soli Ozel. “It's a complicated picture. But from the American side, I do not yet see signs they would allow an attack on the SDF at this moment.” According to Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and Washington's envoy on Syria, diplomatic efforts are under way to extend the Aleppo ceasefire and allow SDF fighters to withdraw from contested areas. Turkey fears Ukraine conflict will spill over on its Black Sea shores Pressure on Washington The duration of US support for the SDF remains uncertain, especially after last year's agreement between Washington and Damascus to step up cooperation against the Islamic State group. The issue has taken on added significance following President Donald Trump's meeting with Syrian President al-Sharaa in Washington. Given President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's strong relationship with Trump, time may not be on the SDF's side, Oney said. “They want to have the northern part of Syria, at least, but also Syria more broadly, as their backyard,” she added. “Turkey is the most influential country in Damascus. They want the SDF to melt away into the new Syrian state and its army.” Turkey could face domestic political fallout for targeting the SDF. Protests have erupted in the country's predominantly Kurdish southeast, which borders Syria, in response to the clashes in Aleppo. Any further military action against the SDF could jeopardise the fragile peace process with the PKK.

It's a conflict that has raged for 40 years – and cost the lives of 40,000 people – but could now be coming to an end. Since the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group announced its dissolution and the end of its armed struggle with Turkey, the population of Diyarbakir, a Kurdish city in southeastern Turkey, has been waiting. The Kurds have long hoped for peace, but under what conditions can it truly be achieved? And is a lasting peace even possible? FRANCE 24's Jenna Le Bras and Adrià Rocha Cutiller report.

Der Friedensprozess zwischen der Türkei und der verbotenen PKK ist ein Hoffnungsschimmer nach Jahrzehnten des Konflikts. Zuletzt ist der Prozess jedoch ins Stocken geraten - auch aus außenpolitischen Gründen. Güsten, Susanne www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

This week Thomas is joined by academic and RUSI fellow, Dr. Burcu Ozcelik, a leading expert on Turkish domestic and foreign policy, particularly its relations with the Kurds and the Middle East. With a Ph.D. from Cambridge University on the topic of the PKK and their path to political reconciliation, Burcu has written widely about the Kurds and their relationship with the Turkish state - you can find her work over on X @BurcuAOzcelik Burcu provides a deep dive into the history of the Kurds, a people divided across national borders after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and traces the evolution of the PKK from its Marxist-Leninist, separatist origins to a group that has now shifted its focus to achieving political and cultural rights within Turkey. The pair also explore the political motives of President Erdoğan and the Turkish establishment, who are seeking to finally resolve the Kurdish issue as a matter of long-term statecraft, before concluding with a forward-looking analysis of Turkey's role as a rising middle power in the post-Assad Middle East, which now prioritizes stability and economic connectivity over past ideological ambitions.

This week we talk about the PKK, Turkey, and the DEM Party.We also discuss terrorism, discrimination, and stateless nations.Recommended Book: A Century of Tomorrows by Glenn AdamsonTranscriptKurdistan is a cultural region, not a country, but part of multiple countries, in the Middle East, spanning roughly the southeastern portion of Turkey, northern Iraq, the northwestern portion of Iran, and northern Syrian. Some definitions also include part of the Southern Caucasus mountains, which contains chunks of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.So this is a sprawling region that straddles multiple nations, and it's defined by the presence of the Kurdish people, the Kurds, who live all over the world, but whose culture is concentrated in this area, where it originally developed, and where, over the generations, there have periodically been very short-lived Kurdish nations of various shapes, sizes, and compositions.The original dynasties from which the Kurds claim their origin were Egyptian, and they governed parts of northeastern African and what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. That was back in the 8th to 12th century, during which Saladin, who was the sultan of both Egypt and Syria, played a major historical role leading Muslim military forces against the Christian Crusader states during the Third Crusade, and leading those forces to victory in 1187, which resulted in Muslim ownership of the Levant, even though the Crusaders continued to technically hold the Kingdom of Jerusalem for another hundred years or so, until 1291.Saladin was Kurdish and kicked off a sultanate that lasted until the mid-13th century, when a diverse group of former slave-soldiers called the mamluks overthrew Saladin's family's Ayyubid sultanate and replaced it with their own.So Kurdish is a language spoken in that Kurdistan region, and the Kurds are considered to be an Iranian ethnic group, because Kurdish is part of a larger collection of languages and ethnicities, though many Kurds consider themselves to be members of a stateless nation, similar in some ways to pre-Israel Jewish people, Tibetan people under China's rule, or the Yoruba people, who primarily live in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, but who were previously oriented around a powerful city-state in that region, which served as the central loci of the Ife Empire, before the Europeans showed up and decided to forcibly move people around and draw new borders across the African continent.The Kurds are likewise often politically and culturally powerful, and that's led to a lot of pushback from leaders in the nations where they live and at times operate as cultural blocs, and it's led to some very short-lived Kurdish nations these people have managed to establish in the 20th century, including the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921-1924, the Republic of Ararat from 1927-1930, and the Republic of Mahabad, which was formed as a puppet state of the Soviet Union in 1946 in northwestern Iran, following a Soviet push for Kurdish nationalism in the region, which was meant to prevent the Allies from controlling the region following WWII, but which then dissolved just a few months after its official formation due to waning support from the Kurdish tribes that initially helped make it a reality.What I'd like to talk about today is the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and why their recently declared ceasefire with Turkey is being seen as a pretty big deal.—The Kurdistan Worker's Party, depending on who you ask, is a political organization or a terrorist organization. It was formed in Turkey in late-1978, and its original, founding goal was to create an independent Kurdish state, a modern Kurdistan, in what is today a small part of Turkey, but in the 1990s it shifted its stated goals to instead just get more rights for Kurds living in Turkey, including more autonomy but also just equal rights, as Kurdish people in many nations, including Turkey, have a long history of being discriminated against, in part because of their cultural distinctiveness, including their language, manner of dress, and cultural practices, and in part because, like many tight-knit ethnic groups, they often operate as a bloc, which in the age of democracy also means they often vote as a bloc, which can feel like a threat to other folks in areas with large Kurdish populations.When I say Kurdish people in Turkey have long been discriminated against, that includes things like telling them they can no longer speak Kurdish and denying that their ethnic group exists, but it also includes massacres conducted by the government against Kurdish people; at times tens of thousands of Kurds were slaughtered by the Turkish army. There was also an official ban on the words Kurds, Kurdistan, and Kurdish by the Turkish government in the 1980s, and Kurdish villages were destroyed, food headed to these villages was embargoed, and there was a long-time ban on the use of the Kurdish language in public life, and people who used it were arrested.As is often the case in such circumstances, folks who support the Kurdish Worker's Party, which is often shorthanded as the PKK, will tell you this group just pushes back against an oppressive regime, and they do what they have to to force the government to backtrack on their anti-Kurdish laws and abuses, which have been pretty widespread and violent.The PKK, in turn, has been criticized for, well, doing terrorist stuff, including using child soldiers, conducting suicide bombings, massacring groups of civilians, engaging in drug trafficking to fund their cause, and executing people on camera as a means of sowing terror.Pretty horrible stuff on both sides, if you look at this objectively, then, and both sides have historically justified their actions by pointing at the horrible things the other side has done to them and theirs.And that's the context for a recent announcement by the leader of the PKK, that the group would be disarming—and very literally so, including a symbolic burning of their weapons in a city in northern Iraq, which was shared online—and they would be shifting their efforts from that of violent militarism and revolution to that of political dialogue and attempting to change the Turkish government from the inside.Turkish President Erdogan, for his part, has seemed happy to oblige these efforts and gestures, fulfilling his role by receiving delegates from the Turkish, pro-Kurd party, the DEM Party, and smilingly shaking that delegate's hand on camera, basically showing the world, and those who have played some kind of role in the militant effort against the Turkish government, that this is the way of things now, we're not fighting physically anymore, we're moving on to wearing suits and pushing for Kurdish rights within the existing governmental structures.The founder of the PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, got in on the action, as well, releasing a seven-minute video from prison, which was then broadcast by the PKK's official media distribution outlet, saying that the fighting is over. This was his first appearance on camera in 26 years, and he used it to say their effort paid off, the Kurds now have an officially recognized identity, and it's time to leverage that identity politically to move things in the right direction.Erdogan's other messages on the matter, to the Kurdish people, but also those who have long lived in fear of the PKK's mass-violence, have reinforced that sentiment, saying that the Kurds are officially recognized as a political entity, and that's how things would play out from this point forward—and this will be good for everyone. And both sides are saying that, over and over, because, well, child soldiers and suicide bombings and massacres conducted by both sides are really, really not good for anyone.By all indications, this has been a very carefully orchestrated dance by those on both sides of the conflict, which again, has been ongoing since 1978, and really picked up the pace and became continuous and ultra-violent, in the 1980s.There was an attempted peace process back in the 20-teens, but the effort, which included a temporary truce between 2013 and 2015, failed, following the murder of two Turkish police officers, the PKK initially claiming responsibility, but later denying they had any involvement. That led to an uptick in military actions by both groups against the other, and the truce collapsed.This new peace process began in 2024 and really took off in late-February of 2025, when that aforementioned message was broadcast by the PKK's leader from prison after lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party worked to connect him and the Turkish government, and eventually helped negotiate the resulting mid-May of 2025 disarmament.Turkey's military leaders have said they will continue to launch strikes against PKK-affiliated groups that continue to operate in the region, and the PKK's disarmament announcement has been embraced by some such groups, while others, like the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is tied to the PKK, but not directly affiliated with them, have said this truce doesn't apply to them.Most governments, globally, have heralded this disarmament as a major victory for the world and Turkey in particular, though the response within Turkey, and in Kurdish areas in particular, has apparently been mixed, with some people assuming the Turkish government will backtrack and keep the DEM Party from accomplishing much of anything, and worrying about behind-the-scenes deals, including a reported agreement between Erdogan's government and the DEM Party to support Erdogan's desire to transform the Turkish government into a presidential system, which would grant him more direct control and power, while others are seemingly just happy to hear that the violence and fear might end.Also notable here is that a lot of Turkey's foreign policy has revolved around hobbling and hurting the PKK for decades, including Turkey's initial hindering of Sweden's accession to NATO, which was partly a means of getting other nations to give the Turkish government stuff they wanted, like upgraded military equipment, but was also a push against the Swedish government's seeming protection of people associated with the PKK, since Sweden's constitution allows people to hold all sorts of beliefs.Some analysts have speculated that this could change the geopolitics of the Middle East fundamentally, as Turkey has long been a regional power, but has been partly hobbled by its conflict with the PKK, and the easing or removal of that conflict could free them up to become more dominant, especially since Israel's recent clobbering of Iran seems to have dulled the Iranian government's shine as the de facto leader of many Muslim groups and governments in the area.It's an opportune time for Erdogan to grab more clout and influence, in other words, and that might have been part of the motivation to go along with the PKK's shift to politics: it frees him and his military up to engage in some adventurism and/or posturing further afield, which could then set Turkey up as the new center of Muslim influence, contra-the Saudis' more globalized version of the concept, militarily and economically. Turkey could become a huge center of geopolitical gravity in this part of the world, in other words, and that seems even more likely now that this disarmament has happened.It's still early days in this new seeming state of affairs, though, and there's a chance that the Turkish government's continued strikes on operating PKK affiliated groups could sever these new ties, but those involved seem to be cleaving to at least some optimism, even as many locals continue hold their breath and hope against hope that this time is different than previous attempts at peace.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-to-know-about-turkeys-decision-to-move-forward-with-swedens-bid-to-join-natohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%932015_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/05/turkey-pkk-disarm-disband-impacts?lang=enhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pkk-claims-deadly-suicide-bombing-turkish-police-stationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161016064155/https://hrwf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Child-soldiers-in-ISIS-PKK-Boko-Haram%E2%80%A6.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Partyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/jul/11/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-burn-weapons-in-disarming-ceremony-videohttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/18/turkiye-pkk-analysis-recalibrates-politicshttps://time.com/7303236/erdogan-war-peace-kurds/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/19/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-in-iraqhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-near-iraqs-sulaymaniyah-2025-07-19/https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/7/11/why-has-the-pkk-ended-its-armed-strugglehttps://archive.is/20250718061819/https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-07-17/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-the-possible-end-to-turkeys-kurdish-problem-could-become-israels-turkey-problem/00000198-1794-dd64-abb9-bfb5dbf30000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurdish_dynasties_and_countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Kurdish_nationalism This is a public episode.

Kurdish militant PKK group begins disarming, starting a process designed to end the Turkish conflict. Also: Southern Gaza's last hospital is forced to stop admitting patients as Israeli troops surround the facility.

This week marks three decades since a massacre in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica where more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were systematically killed by Serb forces in 1995. Some survivors and victims' families say they're still looking for justice. Also, after decades of insurgency against the Turkish government, the PKK has ceremonially laid down its arms. And, residents of Tehran who fled during the recent war with Israel are rebuilding, but they say that nothing feels the same.

For the first time in four decades, the Kurdistan Workers Party, known as the PKK, is laying down its arms and says it will end its insurgency against Turkey. The separatist group’s disbandment comes after its imprisoned leader announced an end to its 41-year armed struggle and a transition to democratic politics. Nick Schifrin reports.
