Turkey’s conflict with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) – ongoing for 36 years – entered one of its deadliest chapters on 20 July 2015 when the most recent ceasefire broke down. Since then, at least 4,280 individuals have been killed in Turkey and northern Iraq.
Prospects for a resumption of peace talks look dim and further escalation could be in store in coming months. To draw attention to the conflict’s death toll, in July 2016 Crisis Group launched a regularly-updated, open-source infographic depicting parameters of fatalities in the conflict.
Today, we release a user-friendly upgrade that includes new ways to visualise data for ages, ranks and hometowns of security force fatalities, as well as gender and hometowns of PKK militants killed.
Adding to the existing U.S.-Iran Trigger List, we are planning to launch more visual explainers on our website in the future, shedding new light on different aspects of conflict around the world. |
