Watch part two

Turkey's diverse population finds itself at a crossroads as it awaits accession to the European Union.

Amid signs of improved relations with neighbouring Armenia despite historic tensions, Turkey's Kurdish population is looking for greater recognition and rights.

The Kurds make up about one-fifth of the country's 72 million population, but their language is banned in the education system, and demands for an autonomous region have been firmly rejected by Ankara.

On today's Riz Khan show live from Istanbul, we examine life for Turkey's Kurds and ask: "What will it take for a resolution to what is often described as the 'Kurdish problem'?"

Joining our discussion are Ozden Sanberk, Turkey's former deputy foreign minister; Amberin Zaman, a correspondent for The Economist based in Turkey and a regular contributor to the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and the Daily Telegraph; and Nazmi Gur, secretary-general for Turkey's Human Rights Association and the former vice-president of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Peoples' Party.
