At the local headquarters of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party, a grey slab engraved with Ataturk's aphorism "Happy is he who calls himself a Turk" gathers dust under a stairwell. Across the street at the gendarmerie, another slogan--"Loyalty to the army is our honour"--glints through barbed wire. The scene encapsulates Turkey's Kurdish (and Syrian) impasse. The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has long called for Syria's president, Bashar Assad, to go. Turkey now hosts over 100,000 refugees from Syria. Tensions between the two countries have almost tipped into open war. Yet there is no sign of an early end to the Syrian conflict. And the withdrawal of Syrian forces from mainly Kurdish towns along the border has raised the stakes in the Turkish state's 28-year battle with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
