    After Öcalan’s call, Turkish society has a long way to go

    Despite Abdullah Öcalan’s historic call for peace, Turkey remains deeply resistant to change. Fréderike Geerdink argues that while Kurds are ready for a peaceful resolution, Turkish society and politics remain frozen, refusing to move even an inch. The media's treatment of Öcalan’s message, including the silencing of the Kurdish language, exposes deep-seated racism and a continued reluctance to engage in genuine dialogue. With the government shaping the public narrative to suit its agenda, the question remains: can Turkey take real steps toward peace, or is this yet another wasted opportunity?

    Of course, Öcalan will make his call!

    There have been great expaectations for Abdullah Öcalan’s long-awaited call for a democratic path forward, but the announcement has been postponed. Independent journalist Fréderike Geerdink explores the reasons behind the delay, linking it to state repression, political manoeuvres and ongoing consultations with Kurdish leaders. Despite setbacks - including the Turkish state’s latest replacement of an elected mayor with a trustee appointment in Van - Geerdink argues that Öcalan’s call is inevitable, as peace remains the only viable future.

    Peace with menaces? – a weekly news review

    As we wait for the anticipated peace message from Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, Turkey is attacking Kurdish freedoms both through violence and through wile. The Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal has been examining Turkey’s past violence in Rojava as war crimes and crimes against humanity. These crimes persist, and meanwhile, Turkey is attempting to negotiate a new role for itself in Syria, and to ensure the end of the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration.
