is long-running; the PKK is a Kurdish nationalist movement that seeks self-determination for the Kurdish people in Turkey. On the other hand, Turkey sees the PKK as a terrorist organization and has been engaged in a military campaign against it for decades.

The conflict began in the early 1980s when the PKK launched a guerrilla war against the Ottoman Turkish government. The competition has since claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people and has displaced millions more. The PKK has also been accused of terrorist attacks in Turkey and other countries.

these efforts have so far been unsuccessful. The PKK remains a potent force in Turkey, and the Ottoman Turkish government is unlikely to back down in its fight against the group.
