Two years of war in Gaza. My focus group study, triangulated with nationwide youth survey data, shows the moral clarity of Türkiye’s youth despite political and ideological divides.

Following the PKK’s symbolic weapons-burning ceremony, Türkiye’s parliament is moving to give the process legal form. The question now is: can Türkiye imagine a lasting peace and act on it? Read my latest for @AJEnglish
