Turkey’s government needs to recover lost momentum, press forward with democratic reforms and constitutional revision, and recognise that steps that benefit the country’s Kurds must be decoupled from disarmament talks with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

In a, Crying 'Wolf': Why Turkish Fears Need Not Block Kurdish Reform, the International Crisis Group examines the current state of Turkey’s peace process with the Kurdish insurgency. The report argues that the government can do more to capitalise on the willingness of Kurds to live inside a democratising Turkey, the readiness of mainstream Turks to move beyond decades of conflict and the relative weakness of Turkish nationalist opposition to Kurdish reforms.
