Kurdish–Turkish conflict

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu remarkably shunned referring to the peace process led by his own government in the 100-article "2023 New Turkey Contract," which he read out along with his Justice and Development Party's (AKP) at party meeting on April 15.

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Yalç?n Akdo?an has said the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) should call on outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants to leave Turkish cities and not restrict the free will of the people in a recent interview.

A?r? is an eastern province close to Turkey?s borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. It is a rather small and underdeveloped province, and will send only four deputies to the 550-seat Turkish Parliament in the June 7 general election.

A delegation from the main opposition Republican People?s Party (CHP), which went to Turkey?s eastern province of A?r? to investigate the recent deadly clash between security forces and outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) militants, has found that an ?information flaw and an intelligence failure? were the main factors that led to the clash.

Let us remember what the most distinct feature of the "peace process," also known as the "ceasefire," has been. The army and the police were avoiding any hot clashes with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK); if one may say so, they were closing an eye. 

Military and police operations were stopped and the PKK was continuing to do what it used to do with a low profile.   

Saying it had been tasked by a civilian authority and its primary motive was not to conduct any military operation, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) has denied accusations about its conduct in an incident that resulted in a deadly clash with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) in the eastern province of A?r?.

The Turkish General Staff has extended its gratitude to the locals of Yukar?tütek village in Turkey's eastern province of A?r? for assisting with the evacuation of Turkish soldiers who were wounded during clashes with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the region on April 11. 

The first major debate heading to the June 7 elections has come in the wake of the first major clash between the Turkish military and outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in over two years.
