Thank you for the detailed depiction of Turkish-PKK nowadays dinamics. The current political development in Turkey is somehow related to the Syrian regime change and the future kurdish role in it. I will be very greatful, if someone with an in-depth understanding connects both timelines. Thanks!

Two questions I have:

1.- ¿Is, mainly, a political decision based on "intern affairs" by part of Turkey? I mean, discontent of people and "soft coup d'Etat" made for Erdogan to opposition shows a concern for ensure its position. Now, with a huge component of kurd population in Turkey, he can "win" some votes, and also "diminish" opposition selling this as a win (difficult not to see it as a real win).

2.- By the kurdish side, I only can see this as a realistic behaviour. Instead of looking for an own State, their look the reality and look for a good position (maybe some degree of autonomy) inside the different States where they are spread.

The Kurdish population has a culture, a religion and a land in the north currently claimed by Turkey, Syria, Irak and Iran. They are like the Indians in USA and Canada; someone stole their country, killed their people and destroyed their culture and religion.

For what? For money, power and more money.

That is evil and evil creates very bad karma for all people in the country.
