DPI concluded its assessment series for the year with an online meeting featuring political analyst and scholar Galip Dalay. The session reviewed Turkey’s domestic and regional dynamics, including the geopolitical pressures affecting the Kurdish issue and the broader peace process. Dalay provided a nuanced examination of the challenges to conflict resolution, from entrenched political polarisation to shifting alliances and international influences. The discussion also included recommendations for DPI for future initiatives aimed at sustaining dialogue and expanding stakeholder participation. The event reaffirmed DPI’s commitment to keeping peace and democratisation at the forefront of its work, even in turbulent times.
