International support for the Peace and Democratic Society process in Turkey continues to grow.
Italian Professor Enzo Traverso has shared a message of support regarding the Peace and Democratic Society Process. His message reads as follows:
"The national Kurdish question is at a historic turning point. The PKK’s decision of abandoning armed struggle and self-dissolving to become a major force for socialist transformation claiming democracy and adopting peaceful means of action, was certainly an extremely difficult choice.
I believe the global left should welcome this strategic change and admire the courage and audacity of its members.
A new political process has begun, filled with uncertainties, pitfalls, and unexpected challenges, but all conquest requires courage and audacity. This is the condition for moving forward."
Traverso taught political science for many years at various universities in France. Since 2013, he has served as a professor in the History Department at Cornell University. He is widely recognized for his work on the intellectual and political history of twentieth-century Europe.
