2016 will be a year of important decisions, especially for Kurdish nationalists.
The policymakers in Ankara are required to accomplish a structural transformation program for socio-economic development, while fighting a low-intensity war in the southeast and overcoming the international repercussions of the crisis with Russia. Not an easy job for sure. But then, who said that politics was an easy job?
The PKK's new strategic discourse in its fight against the state is determined by the HDP's leadership which has recently brought up the self-governance' debate. In this way, the HDP's organic connection with the PKK has been proven with the party's own hand.

What Turkey desperately needs, above and beyond party politics, is an end to the elite-level tensions that trigger political polarization across the country.

The political and economic foundations of New Turkey are not crumbling; in fact they have proved resilient and continue to withstand multiple challenges. The social fabric proved resistant against divisive political rhetoric and provocative calls for mass revolts against the public order.
The HDP sees the latest wave of attacks as a window of opportunity to support its anti-Erdoğan propaganda for the Nov. 1 elections. However, this discourse only benefits the West's campaign to smear Turkey
We have hope for the future nonetheless, because Turkey has made significant progress over the years and has what it takes to overcome the current challenges.
The grievous fact that hundreds of people were brutally killed and wounded by the latest suicide bombings in Ankara renders all strategies, political analyses and comments meaningless
The positive elections campaigns carried out by political parties justify the AK Party's struggle against military tutelage to strengthen the democratization process of Turkish politics
