Kürt Meselesi ve Barış: Beklenti, Tutum ve Algılar / Kurdish Issue and Peace: Expectations, Attitudes, and Perceptions

Abstract

In order to measure the perceptions, attitudes and expectations of Kurdish participants regarding the Kurdish issue and peace issues, we conducted a field research with 1134 Kurdish participants in 15 provinces with NORDEM and Beraberce between 10-24 July 2023.

In our field research, we focused on measuring the economic, social and political reflections of the Kurdish issue and how the attempts to solve this issue through security and police methods were perceived by the Kurdish participants. It has been tried to reveal the extent to which the problems arising from the Kurdish issue affect the daily lives and political choices of the Kurds, and the attitudes and expectations of the government, opposition and HDP towards what kind of policies they should develop regarding the solution of this issue. It focuses on understanding participants' perceptions of the "peace" issue in relation to the Kurdish issue and their expectations from institutions, civil society, political parties and leaders on this issue. The field findings of our research were detailed and analyzed according to age, gender, educational status and party.
