This article deals with the role of judicial mechanisms in the JDP’s approach to the Kurdish issue. Specifically, it examines the KCK case, which began in April 2009 and is still continuing in some courts. The article places this criminal prosecution into a political setting and attempts to construct its political role and meaning. Studying the KCK case as a part of the JDP’s Kurdish policy shows how the government uses both repressive and peaceful means in parallel. Therefore, the article asserts that examining the political role of criminal justice can provide a more comprehensive picture of the JDP’s Kurdish policy in the last decade
