SHOW DOCUMENT

This report by Nesrin Uçarlar is the second of a series of publications that focuses on various aspects of building a peaceful political process for the resolution of Kurdish issue in Turkey. Focusing on the peaceful method of truth-seeking, this study analyzes the establishment, functioning, resilience and flexibility of Turkey’s regime of truth. Arguing that it is relevant to consider racism as a main source for this regime, it draws attention to a number of aspects that could prove to be critical for anchoring Turkey’s dealing with the past and peace processes in an anti-racist framework.
