For the past few years, both the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) have been warning about the Gulen movement supporters infiltrating the police and the army. After the July 15 coup attempt, the relevant question is whether the government, while weeding out the Gulenists, can return to the peace table with the Kurds. There are some signs that give hope to such an eventuality.
It is said that some of the key coup plotters were the generals who were commanding operations against the PKK.
