However, its 1987 decision to give its citizens the right to petition the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to enhance its chances for membership to the European Union (EU) obliged the state to confront, at the transnational level, the Kurdish demands for human rights protection and equal treatment. The cases taken to the ECtHR by Kurdish civilians revealed that cloaked in the language of 'war on terrorism', the Turkish military had committed egregious violations including the forced displacement of civilians , the destruction of property, the burning of forests, as well as extra-judicial killings, disappearances and torture. Turkey's EU candidacy increased the existing international pressure on the government to revise its mode of dealing with the insurgency and with Kurdish political and cultural demands more generally. The EU demanded that Turkey first and foremost execute the ECtHR's judgments on Kurdish issues, but also grant the Kurds limited linguistic rights in order to fulfil minority rights protection as part of the membership accession criteria.

The much-awaited package came nearly a year after the initiation of informal peace talks between the government and Abdullah {\"O}calan - the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), listed as a terrorist organisation by the EU and the US - and six months after {\"O}calan made a historic call to his fighters to end the armed struggle. The package was anticipated as the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government's response to {\"O}calan's three-stage road map for peace. Yet, rather than legislative changes for a political settlement on the Kurdish question, Erdoğan announced a generic harmonisation package, a move which has put into question his government's commitment to the peace process. The fragility of the cease fire between the PKK and the Turkish military and the urgency of radical reforms to prevent a deadlock in the peace process render the AKP's piecemeal approach to democratisation too costly at this point in time. With the EU's opening of negotiations on Chapter 22 on regional policy, which pertains to decentralisation in governance and is thus relevant for a political solution to the Kurdish question, there is a real and urgent need for European policy makers to be involved in the peace process in Turkey.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Kurban, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Kurban, Dilek}, title = {To Europe and Back: The Three Decades of Kurdish Struggle in Turkey}, series = {Global Turkey in Europe (Policy Brief No.7)}, volume = {2013}, journal = {Global Turkey in Europe (Policy Brief No.7)}, number = {7}, publisher = {IAI: Instituto Affari Internazionali [u.a.]}, address = {Rom [u.a.]}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-16438}, pages = {5}, abstract = {Europe has been a primary actor in Turkey's democratization process and for the Kurdish political struggle carried out simultaneously by the PKK and civilian actors since the late 1980s.

Subjects improved their nutritional habits and significantly increased their carotenoid concentration during intervention. Follow-up five months later showed a consolidation of the increase.

Very few societies have evolved from this natural state of affairs to produce a state which can be expected to treat everyone equally and fairly, and to put public above private interest, when entrusted with the management of common affairs and resources.

We find that in almost 20 percent of the cases, the information collected using the first method did not correspond with the information collected using the second method.
