Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the most important criminal threat facing Turkish society and government; the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The paper discusses the financial, social and military measures the authorities use to protect the Turkish population from the violent manifestations of the rebels against the local population. The writer includes his personal view that the PKK threat could be dealt with through dialogue between the two parties and through an improvement in the quality of life in Kurdish regions.

From the Paper:

"Turkey has been an interesting case study for international relations for decades now. It is neither a Muslim, nor a European country, yet its foreign policy prospects include the affirmation of an increasingly important role in both regions. However, such an ambitious plan requires the resolution of internal crises that press on the society. It can be said that the Turkish state faces serious challenges in insuring a proper human security environment and up to this point there is little improvement in this sense, rather an escalation of the threats facing the society."
