`titrebKurds and the State Option`/titrebThe Kurds in Iraq occupy what is practically a state. The Syrian civil war has resulted in the autonomization of the country’s Kurdish population. To Kurdish advantage, the JDP’s ambiguous policy has cleared a new political space in Turkey. The development of entities that are almost states has not, however, led to the constitution of a unique political space. It remains fragile and divides Kurds into separate zones just as much as it unites them through a common political goal.
