Abstract: In a region undergoing dramatic changes, the Kurds in particular have begun to enjoy a political resurgence. Of those countries where Kurds reside, Turkey is the single most important actor for several reasons: It is a powerful state that is home to more than half of the total Kurdish population; it has been locked in a stalemate with (arguably) the most powerful Kurdish insurgent group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party [Partiya Karkeren Kurdistan, PKK]; this decades-long armed conflict progressively has acquired a trans-border disposition and fomented disagreement between Turkey and the United States in Syria; and lastly, Turkey under the Justice and Development Party [Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP] gradually is distancing itself from the Western bloc and moving away from democratic values and principles. This article examines the evolving Kurdish question in Turkey with an emphasis on how it is interacting with changing domestic, regional, and global dynamics.

土耳其不断发展的库尔德问题

摘要：在一个发生巨大变化的地区，特别是库尔德人开始在政治上复兴。在库尔德人居住的那些国家中，土耳其是唯一最重要的行为体，其原因有几个：土耳其是一个强大的国家，居住着库尔德人总数的一半以上；它与（可能是）最强大的库尔德叛乱组织库尔德工人党陷入僵局（可以说是库尔德工人党）。这场长达数十年的武装冲突逐渐使土耳其和美国在叙利亚之间产生了跨国界的分歧，并引发了分歧。最后，在正义与发展党[Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi，AKP]领导下的土耳其逐渐远离西方集团，脱离了民主价值观和原则。
