Abstract/Özet:
This thesis analyses how Kurdish lobbying in the US
and UK tried to utilize the political opportunities created by the Syrian
Conflict. Situated with the wider field of ethnic lobbying, it focuses on
strategic framing as crucial part of successful ethnic lobbying. The thesis,
therefore, seeks to understand how the PKK-PYD has strategically framed the
Syrian Conflict and whether these strategic frames resonate with policymakers
and the media discourse in the US and the UK when compared with the strategic
counter frames employed by the Turkish government.
Keywords: Political
