from Revisited · host FRANCE 24 English

It's a conflict that has raged for 40 years – and cost the lives of 40,000 people – but could now be coming to an end. Since the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group announced its dissolution and the end of its armed struggle with Turkey, the population of Diyarbakir, a Kurdish city in southeastern Turkey, has been waiting. The Kurds have long hoped for peace, but under what conditions can it truly be achieved? And is a lasting peace even possible? FRANCE 24's Jenna Le Bras and Adrià Rocha Cutiller report.
