Abstract
One thing is clear, the contemporary rulers of the Turkish state are not following a lessonslearned approach. More than thirty years of armed conflict with the PKK have revealed that Turkey’s security approach is not a solution to this problem and that the Kurdish movement cannot be eliminated by intimidation and an escalation of cultural and structural as well as physical violence. Many pro-Kurdish political parties had been formed and banned before the emergence of the HDP and most probably new ones will emerge in the future. Prolonging the conflict will mean the loss of more lives, including civilians. The state is sending a very strong signal to the followers of the Kurdish movement: ‘There is no room for political representation.’ Anyone who is even a little bit familiar with peace and conflict studies literature will immediately guess what this could bring: further radicalisation! This is how non-violent resistance movements lose power and means of violent resistance gain legitimacy in the eyes of the members of the oppressed groups. There is a high possibility that the current state policies will backfire in this regard in the future.
