Reconciliation Process (2013-2015) is the most systematic and
comprehensive initiative during the Republican history to find a sustainable
solution to Turkey’s century old “Kurdish Question”. Reconciliation
Process is characterized as a peace process in this study. Reconciliation
Process came to an end after the PKK’s attacks to Turkish security forces
in July 2015. This study examines the reasons behind the failure of the
Reconciliation Process and discusses the means to overcome the stalemate
situation. Political decisions and preferences of the “Kurdish Movement”;
changing power dynamics between the main counterparts of the process;
the opportunities that the ongoing civil war in Syria provided the “Kurdish
Movement” and the ambiguities that the Syrian Civil War generated for
the Turkish authorities are cited as the main shortcomings that derailed
the Process. This study argues the current situation is a stalemate within
the Process. Possible steps and conditions too revitalize the Process are
discussed.
