The New Anatolian-Where does the AKP stand on the Kurdish problem?

I recently mentioned that there's a serious difference of opinion between the government and some bureaucrats in Ankara on the Kurdish problem. The issue should be further explored since certain bureaucrats, who think differently than the government, are architects of a new policy that could go into practice in the following days.

This situation is pushing the government to look for new solutions. The rest of the bureaucrats, on the other hand, are in cooperation with the government out of fear of losing their positions. This, inevitably, gives the impression that there's a conflict within the bureaucracy. The developments experienced in the wake of the Semdinli incidents are the latest example of this conflict. "
