On March 13, two suicide bombers detonated a car bomb at a major transit hub in Ankara’s Kızılay neighborhood, killing 37 and injuring more than 100 civilians. This latest attack has upended Turkish politics, prompting Turkish President Recep Tayyıp Erdoğan to call for the imposition of strong anti-terror laws intended to punish those that support terror, including non-governmental agencies and journalists presumably sympathetic to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). These developments come amid the ruling Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) campaign to change Turkey’s constitution. Developments on the nationalist right and Kurdish left of Turkish politics will have a significant impact on the future of Turkey’s political system.
