    Who are Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) rebels?

    In the s, the PKK rolled back on its demands for an independent state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds.

    Who are the Kurds?

    The spotlight is now on Turkey's pro-Kurdish opposition party, People's Democracy (HDP), whose joint leaders Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag were arrested early on 4 November.

    The Turkish government said they had failed to appear for questioning about alleged links to the PKK - which they deny. Turkey accuses them of spreading PKK propaganda. Ten other MPs were also arrested.

    Acting with emergency powers, introduced after the coup attempt, the Turkish authorities have also detained the joint mayors of Diyarbakir, a mainly Kurdish city. The Kurds' main media outlets have also been shut down.

    The HDP, the main pro-Kurdish party, is a broad coalition of groups including liberal and left-wing ethnic Turks. The party denies Turkey's claim that it is allied to the PKK.

    It entered parliament for the first time last year, winning 59 seats, making it the second-biggest opposition party.

    Forntid och tidig historia

    [redigera | redigera wikitext]

    Det anses klarlagt att kurdernas förfäder har bott i det nuvarande kurdiska området i tusentals år, men inte mycket är känt om deras historia.[1] På en sumerisk lertavla från omkring 3 nämns landet Karda, vilket kan tyda på att det fanns ett folk som kallade sig kurder (eller något snarlikt) före indoeuropéernas ankomst till området.[2]Indoeuropeiska stammar slog sig ner i Zagrosbergen under årtusendet före Kristus, och med dem det indoeuropeiska språk som utvecklades till kurdiska. En historietradition hävdar att kurderna härstammar från de indoeuropeiska mederna och det finns också teorier om att bergsfolket kardoucherna var identiska med kurderna. Kardoucherna omnämns i Xenofons ”Anabasis” (ca )[3][4][5] Under romersk tid fanns i området en provins kallad Corduene[6][7] och antika historieskrivare nämner ett folk kallat Kurtioi (Cyrtii).[8] Vilket förhållande som finns mellan dessa tidiga fol
