Yesterday Hakan Fidan invited Cemaat to join their ranks; I think they have made a deal with their new leadership. PKK and Gladio have always been intertwined. Western intelligence communities have always pushed for what later came to be known as Çözüm Süreci, maybe as part of their grand design for Middle East. AKP tried very meagerly to severe from them either in purely aesthetic terms or maybe in an honest but weak manner, but the results must have been traumatic enough for them to convince them to reconcile again, probably taking guarantees about their power not being challenged by the Western institutions either within or without the country (i.e. via opposition & finance and media institutions respectively).
In short, AKP is trying to turn back to the pre-2013 years as they think that was the source of the security of their power and the state of the economy; for that to become a reality the intelligence communities have forced them to sort out this PKK thing, effectively not challenging a YPG state, and their later inevitable swallowing of KRG (to be united with the Iranian Kurdistan later, and then...?) Probably PKK will just claim to merge with YPG (and this will be announced as a victory by the ruling coalition) only to effectively hold their ground in ways that matter. This is also a great tool for the Western intelligentsia who are careerists but also have some genuine liberal ideals to be convinced of the "New Liberal Turkey", promoting an organic reconciliation of Western institutions with the Islamists, as the status quo was before 2013.
For me to falsify this scenario I will need input from certain media organizations in the west, esp. those promoting Israel's interests. If despite the superficial rhetoric used both by our government and theirs, those institutions endorse these moves, then the rhetoric is truly the exact opposite of what is being talked behind closed doors. This is what I suspect is going on, but I'm about 40% sure. The remaining 60% is divided between other alternative scenarios, none reaching a plurality for now.
