Another Praise for Rethinking The Kurdish Question
Fikret Bila, an op-ed writer for the prominent Turkish national daily, Milliyet, has commended Akyol's Rethinking The Kurdish Question in his column. "Mustafa Akyol, a young researcher" wrote Bila,
"[has] treated the Kurdish question in a multidimensional way. His research is quite scholarly. The work, which makes use of national and international resources, handles the question in its regional framework. Akyol bases his study on scientific resources and analyzed his findings from a liberal point of view.Akyol reaches the conclusion that approaches such as autonomy, a federation or independence can’t be seen as workable, permanent solutions. As a young researcher, Akyol sees the solution in integration. He gives advice on how to improve this. He sees democracy and Islam as a common point in solving this problem (in this respect, I think secularism should be highlighted more). Akyol suggests that Turkish identity should be seen as an upper identity and that a democratic, economic integration in a unitary structure would bring a solution. It is of great value that researchers, scholars and the young population are thinking about this problem.
