dc.description.abstract"Recent developments in Turkey show evidence that the current governing party, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi or AKP), is attempting to address and resolve some of the issues arising from years of suppression of the Kurdish minority in Turkey, in conjunction with establishing European Union membership as a key part of their political platform. Initially these political maneuvers showed some promise of seriously addressing issues of recognition of minority ethnicity in Turkey of the Kurdish people. At the same time the AKP represents a shift or transformation of power from the traditional ruling class, the secularists ""laik"" to the neoliberal ""Islamists"". However the question arises whether this shift in power in Turkey from that of the nationalist laik class to that of the Islamists of the AKP signifies any significant increase in the probability of the Kurdish people in Turkey reaching recognition and emancipation from their perennial socio-economic suppression."
