PKK In The Spiral Of Violence

Abstract

Terrorism, which tries to deter the public against political authority, generally creates an atmosphere of oppression, fear and insecurity. In this environment of insecurity, it prefers to use violence to achieve its overt and covert goals and uses this method against the public and political authority. Therefore, the terrorism activities that Turkey faces cause many negativities. The terrorist organization PKK has many actions targeting the Republic of Turkey. In addition to the armed struggle, the organization has also achieved its goal of politicization by carrying out such activities over time. The organization thinks of achieving its goals by gaining the support of the people of the region it oppresses. The terrorist organization has tried to include citizens of Kurdish origin in its scope by claiming that it is the representative of the geography it is located in.
