What the PKK has to do is revert to its line as it stood at the beginning of the Solution Process. If the PKK were to go back to the year 2013, the minimal conditions needed for “everything to begin from scratch” might jell together yet again.
The problem is the above mentioned liberal and left-wing intelligentsias have an urge to make up a fake reality stemming from lack of knowledge and their dissidence to the Justice and Development Party (AK Party).
Now, however, what the election results tell us is that this is not a very high “threshold.” At least a third of Turkish society is capable of behaving in extremely rational and common sense fashion, and it is this group that decides who is to govern.
I am not one of those who believe that the people never make any mistakes. But when I look at Turkish politics, what I see is that compared with the educated elites, those broad groups or sections of society that are commonly described as “the people” have long been far more reasonable, and individuals within that category have been acting in a far more rational and flexible way.
