For over a year, Turkey has been running a very important process to resolve the Kurdish question completely. Thanks to the resolution of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government and jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, bold steps are being taken in the glare of publicity for the first time and peace negotiations, which were unimaginable 10 years ago, are running despite serious provocation by the PKK as well as those inside and outside the country.The latest attempt to undermine the process was the Oct. 6-7 protests during which more than 40 people were killed on the pretext of showing support for the People's Protection Units (YPG) that are fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) in the northern Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani. Soon after the government and the Kurdish bloc - the PKK and the People's Democratic Party (HDP) - announced that the process reached a critical point, three people were killed in armed clashes between the PKK's youth branch, the Patriotic Democratic Youth Movement (YDGH), and the followers of the Free Cause Party (HÜDA PAR), raising various questions. Now that everything is on track, then why did these people die? Is the PKK not sincere? Does Öcalan not dominate the PKK? Is the process not going well and does the government present things falsely? Let us take a look at what happens behind closed doors concerning the reconciliation process.İlhami Işık, an author who previously took part in a solution of the Kurdish question, keeps a close watch on the process and knows Öcalan well, as he said in an article published on hurhaber.com, "There emerged the possibility of maintaining negotiations and peace in a much more realistic, confidential and accurate way between a state that bolstered its self-confidence, strengthened its economy and secured its political stability on a legitimate ground and Kurds, who achieved political but not military gains. This is a negotiation process with pluses, minuses and mistakes. It is never a means of discussing things in the beginning that should be said in the end. ... The fact that the draft negotiation that was prepared by [Öcalan] and underwent attempts at negation with the argument that [the PKK leadership] would deprecate it, was declared to support [Öcalan] with the consensus of all KCK [Kurdish Communities Union] structures..."In short, Öcalan proved with his messages in the last two weeks that he dominates the PKK and HDP. The government presented its resolution once again particularly with the statements of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Deputy Prime Minister Yalçın Akdoğan. It was also reported that the government and the HDP would make a joint declaration. Therefore, the recent incident in Cizre should be considered an attempt at provocation that gradually marginalizes the process. The government's statement: "We are adamant about the process," which came on the heels of this development, proves this.It is expected that a problem that has lasted for over 30 years will be solved in two years, when a similar process in the U.K. took much longer. We have to think broadly about the process and refrain from pessimistic thoughts that play into the hands of provocateurs. Unfortunately, there will be ups and downs, and sometimes setbacks come one after another, however, what is important is to look at the general course of the process, which reveals that a new phase has come and shows the commitment of the parties involved.
