Abstract

This study proposes to view the framework of peaceful coexistence through a perspective that discusses the three dimensions of the Kurdish question in depth. The first one is its historicality. Rooted as it is in nation-state building processes and struggles, we should not look at this problem as if we were simply going to correct a historical mistake. Otherwise, we will fall short of detecting the underlying relationships that reproduce racist attacks, supremacist discourses, and social and political hierarchies on a daily basis, as we are currently able to observe. In other words, instead of viewing the issue as a one-time event of the past, we need to emphasize its historicality which is constantly being reproduced. The second dimension is interrelatedness.
