US presidential hopeful Joe Biden made controversial claims about the Turkish leadership and its Kurdish policy. What is the reality in Turkey?
Turkey's Kurdish-origin citizens have represented their respective provinces for different parties in parliament since the beginning of the Republic's founding.
The current Republican People's Party leader, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, is originally from the Kureysan tribe located in Turkey’s eastern province of Tunceli. The tribe’s native tongue is Zazaki, a language with close links to Kurdish. Kilicdaroglu considers himself Turkmen.
But Bulovali also thinks that Turkey’s assertive Eastern Mediterranean policy is one of the main reasons for the video’s recirculation across social media and other platforms. While the resolution process failed, Turkey’s political reforms on the use of the Kurdish language in the public sphere and other rights have stayed intact. At the same time, much of the PKK presence in Turkish borders have been eliminated through consistent military operations since 2015, bringing security to the country's eastern and southeastern regions.
