Nonetheless, Turkey’s new government has been provided with a broad enough mandate to address some of the country’s most difficult and imminent policy challenges – most notably the peace process with the Kurds. A previous effort had been suspended ahead of the election, as the PKK returned to violence and the AKP’s leadership adopted increasingly nationalist and hawkish rhetoric.
尽管如此，土耳其新政府拥有了足够广泛的权力解决土耳其最困难、最紧迫的政策挑战——其中最引人注目的便是与库尔德人的和平进程。此前的和平进程在选举前被中止，因为PKK回归暴力，而AKP领导层的口风日益民族主义和强硬。但是，选举结束后，新政府有望重启谈判。如果成功，谈判不但将产生巨大的国内影响，也将有利于继续打击伊斯兰国。
