The Causes & Consequences of Syria’s Rapid Dismantlement of Kurdish Autonomy

An intensification of the Israeli-Turkish rivalry in Syria is already concerning enough for Tel Aviv, let alone if Ankara exploits this through its potential...

Why Turkey Was Right to Reject the SDF Model

In Syria, stripped of the SDF camouflage, one scenario looms large: the PKK shedding embarrassment and reverting to its core identity. Damascus knows this organization well—but missteps are likely unless Turkey helps manage the process. At this stage, the only viable path is for the PKK in Syria to join...

The Threshold of a New Era: Politics Cannot Exist Under the Shadow of Weapons

The future of Syria depends on a political order cleansed of armed structures; the future of the Kurdish issue depends on a political discourse entirely severed from violence. For both organizations and states, the primary objective must be democratic transformation. What truly matters is not to endlessly repeat the term,...

The Birth of Europe, the Sinking into Europe – II

Of course, we know that this is not the case. In Nancy’s self-reflexive gaze—whatever horizon Europe occupies, and however it expands and becomes the “world”—there is no place for colonialisms, genocides, enslavements, oppressions, or the destruction of cultures.
