Publication

30 Nov 2012

This publication examines Turkey's biggest Kurdish-majority city and province in light of the main issues underlying the Kurdish problem and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) insurgency: mother language, local government and identity and political representation. Although the armed conflict has deteriorated in the past year and a half to its worst level in over a decade, the city of Diyarbakir still offers hope for those who want to live together, if Ankara acts firmly to address grievances and ensure equality and justice for all.
