Quick Glance: The End of the Peace Process in Turkey
- Turkey faces an escalation of the conflict with the PKK, which has led to periodic military confrontations over the past 40 years.
- Since the failed coup attempt in 2016, over 5,000 lives have been claimed by clashes between Ankara and the PKK.
- The peace process between Turkey and its Kurdish minorities, which began in 2013, is coming to an end as political repression and violence intensify.
- The escalation of the conflict since the 2023 elections indicates Erdogan's push towards a more intense armed conflict, diminishing the chances of normalizing political relations with the Kurds.
