Crisis Group assumes that total PKK fatalities are higher than this public tally. The fatality rate in Türkiye’s PKK conflict peaked in the winter of 2015-2016. The rate of PKK militants killed per one state security force member has been fluctuating since July 2015. Crisis Group has worked to identify all fatality claims made in the PKK conflict in Turkey since 2011, when it began keeping an open-source fatality database. Crisis Group published an upgraded version of this visual explainer with visual components based on the ACLED data in June 2023.
