30th April 2018/0 Comments/in Geen categorie, Turkish and Kurdish Dialogue /by HPP Team

Op de warmste 19 april die ooit is gemeten in Nederland, bevolken grote groepen mensen de terrassen van Utrecht. Ook in de buurt van Theater Kikker, waar de paneldiscussie ‘Muslims Represent!’ zal plaatsvinden. Bezoekers druppelen langzaam naar binnen, waar ze worden verwelkomd door meevoerende klanken uit de rietfluit van Cengiz Arslanpay. De host van vanavond is […]

Report: ‘On the way to school’ – Festival Anatolië

5th November 2017/0 Comments/in Turkish and Kurdish Dialogue /by Vinay

Not everything can be said solely through verbal communication. This lesson has been learnt by the children starring the documentary ´On the way to school´. Özgür Dogan and Orhan Eskiköy captured the complexity of cultural identity in Turkey, where Kurds compose between 15-20% of the population. Entry-level Turkish teachers needing to gain experience are sent […]

TURKISH AND KURDISH DIALOGUE

On July 15, 2016, at least 241 citizens and government law enforcement died from an attempted coup d’ état constructed by elements of the Turkish military which was a sudden political act aiming to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government. As a result, the government declared a state of emergency that consisted of jailing thousands of soldiers and began an abrupt removal of police, teachers, police officials, judges and prosecutors. Moreover, the Syrian war continues to impact Turkey since it hosts an estimated 2.7 million Syrian refugees which has led individuals allegedly linked to the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) to have regular bomb attacks in Turkey. In the period of January to May 2016, up to 400,000 residents were displaced due to intense security operations in towns where the city militias linked to the PKK had become firmly established. Importantly, the government of Turkey has made the efforts to silence media criticism and scrutiny of government policy by threatening as well as prosecuting journalists, taking over media companies such as the daily Zaman newspaper and even removing critical television stations from the main state-owned satellite distribution platform. Control over freedom of speech in Turkey has become so significant that it became the country with the highest number of requests on Twitter to censor individual accounts (Human Rights Watch 2016).
