Özet
The inception of AK Parti government's initiative to terminate the Kurdish issue in 2009 has paved the way to Dinding a political solution to one of the most intricate questions of modern Turkey. The political initiatives of the incumbent government not only ended the 40-years-long violence and related terrorism cycle for a short period of time but also promoted a heightened awareness of peace and reconciliation efforts. In regards to the role that they have played during the implementation of recent peace process (2009-2015), Kurdish youth has been frontline proxies of violence instigation. That said, Kurdish youth in Turkey have faced the implications of the conflict since early childhood. Struggling to survive amidst violent occurrences is a part of their daily routine as a result of structural deficiencies and proximate causes of participation in violence. Therefore, this article analyses existing youth peacebuilding initiatives for Kurdish youth in conflict-affected areas of the country. Similarly, it also intended to explore whether these initiatives respond to the roots causes of the conflict.
