From the publisher

In this collection, scientists who are employed within the regions of the Middle East, Turkey, and Kurdistan try to make different facets of the Kurdish conflict transparent and select aspects of the Kurdish conflict to analyze. The editors goal is to point out the baselines and the complexities of the confliict and to assess its modifications and chances for a peaceful resolution.

First line

Twice, since the end of the Ottoman Empire, the ,,violence" has emerged as the major element of the shaping of the Kurdish movement, and, consequently, of the Kurdish political arena in Turkey as a whole: during 1920-1938 and during the period which began in the second part of the 1970s and which continues as a guerrilla warfare since 1984.
