III Abstract Keywords: Representative Contention, Kurdish nationalism, HEP, DEP, HADEP, DTP Kurdish nationalism started to organize through the pro-Kurdish political parties in Turkey after 1990. The struggle between Kurdish nationalism and Turkish nationalism shifted towards the political field with the entrance of pro-Kurdish political parties to Turkish political life. The nature of struggle in the political field, has been shaped over the years according to the limits of the Turkish political life and the political attitude of pro-Kurdish political parties.

  • Can the Kurdish Left Contribute to Turkey's Democratization?
    ARTICLE CAN THE KURDISH LEFT CONTRIBUTE TO TURKEY’S DEMOCRATIZATION? Can the Kurdish Left Contribute to Turkey’s Democratization? ÖDÜL CELEP* ABSTRACT The current peace process regarding Turkey’s Kurdish question could pave the way for the normalization of politics and democratization in Turkey if the existing opportunities are not missed. The major actors that represent the Kurdish left in Turkey, the PKK and the HDP (formerly BDP), are all equally significant parts of the peace process. The HDP in particular has the potential to turn into a constructive actor for Turkey’s democratization in the near future. This article argues that the Kurdish left of the democratic, parliamentary stage, lately the HDP, could contrib- ute to Turkey’s democratization if it can fulfill the libertarian left policy space in Turkish politics, which has long been abandoned by all existing political parties. Introduction he ongoing peace process between the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AK Party) government and the Kurdish left, Trepresented by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (Partiya Karkerên Kurdis- tan, PKK) and the Democratic Party of the Peoples (Halkların Demokratik Partisi, HDP), the neo-successor of the former Peace and Democracy Par- ty (Barış ve Demokrasi Partisi, BDP), is an extraordinary achievement. After over thirty years of armed clashes between Turkey’s civilian governments/mil- itary forces and the PKK’s paramilitary groups, both sides have agreed to end the fighting and permanently establish peace. Despite the recent corruption charges against the AK Party government and the AKP-Gülen split within the conservative right, the peace process retains the commitment of its ma- * Işık University, jor actors: the AKP, BDP-HDP and PKK.
