- Abstract
- The Kurdish movement is founded on distinct historical processes such as sheikh and tribal rebellions in the 1920s and 1930s, "Eastism" in the 1950s and 1960s, and the rise of radical organizations in the 1970s such as the PKK, the KUK, Rizgarî, Riya Azadî, Stêrka Sor, Kawa, the DDKD, Têkoşîn, etc. The conference explores historical conditions of formation of these groups, their radicalism and use of violence.
