Despite Abdullah Öcalan’s historic call for peace, Turkey remains
deeply resistant to change. Fréderike Geerdink argues that while
Kurds are ready for a peaceful resolution, Turkish society and
politics remain frozen, refusing to move even an inch. The media's
treatment of Öcalan’s message, including the silencing of the
Kurdish language, exposes deep-seated racism and a continued
reluctance to engage in genuine dialogue. With the government

There have been great expaectations for Abdullah Öcalan’s
long-awaited call for a democratic path forward, but the
announcement has been postponed. Independent journalist Fréderike
Geerdink explores the reasons behind the delay, linking it to state
repression, political manoeuvres and ongoing consultations with
Kurdish leaders. Despite setbacks - including the Turkish state’s

in Van - Geerdink argues that Öcalan’s call is inevitable, as peace
remains the only viable future.
