I personally think Turkey is beginning a civil war much like Syria did. So, a lot of what you are going to see will be blamed on Kurds fighting Erdogan when actually it is Turkish People revolting in his nation against Erdogan's destruction of a civil democracy which is gone now under the dictatorship of Erdogan.

Turkey PKK conflict: Eight police killed in Cizre bomb

A large car bomb
has hit a riot police headquarters in Cizre, south-east Turkey, killing
eight policemen and injuring more than 45.
The huge explosion at 07:00 (04:00 GMT) targeted a checkpoint, and left the nearby HQ in ruins. It is unclear who carried out the attack, but Turkish media blamed the banned Kurdistan Workers Party, PKK.
Cizre has been the subject of several curfews in the past few months by Turkish authorities fighting the PKK.
The UN and human rights organisations have demanded an investigation into allegations that more than 100 people were burned to death while sheltering in basements in Cizre - a poor town close to the Syrian border.
A string of PKK attacks have targeted Turkish security forces since a two-year ceasefire collapsed in July 2015.
Turkey's PKK conflict shows no sign of abating, says the BBC's Mark Lowen, and the government has ruled out any negotiations until the group completely disarms.
The latest violence comes as the army reels from a huge purge following a coup attempt in July.
As well as fighting the PKK, Turkey is battling so-called Islamic State, whose militants have carried out a series of bloody attacks over the past year.
The PKK, which is banned in Turkey, launched its insurgency in 1984, alleging widespread abuse and discrimination against Kurds by Turkish authorities.
