On 31st July the prestigious French newspaper published a commentary by the freelancing journalist Allan Kaval that is really nothing but PKK propaganda.
Allan Kaval claims that the government is trying to provoke the PKK into war so that it can benefit from an early election decline in HDP votes to recapture its absolute majority and make it back into governing on its own.
Now he, too, is perhaps a talented but not a very ethical and sportsmanlike type. Yet another immature, unripe watermelon, I would say. You cannot pin him down; he first says one thing and then switches to another, changing and evading and distorting all the time while also pleading that he has been misquoted. And unfortunately, he happens to be not in tennis but politics. Whatever is it that he stirs up is paid for in human lives.
Can this whole process result in a complete parting of ways? And what is it likely to cost to the region, to the Kurds, and to Turkey? On what new basis can the search for a peaceful solution be re-activated? This is going to be truly a very complicated process.
