Vorwort
On 23 December 2022, a French assassin carried out a racially motivated attack on the Ahmet Kaya Cultural Centre in the Rue d‘Enghien in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. Heavy rioting in Paris followed immediately afterwards, as did solidarity rallies across Europe. Protesters challenged the theory of a single perpetrator and accused Turkey of complicity or even responsibility. The reactions to the attack are important for the Kurdish scene in general and for Europe‘s relationship with the Kurds and Turkey in particular; but above all it forces Europeans to defi ne their interests regarding northern Syria.
