This article examines how the AKP’s centralized cultural and gendered policies in Diyarbakır – particularly after the 2016 trustee appointments – operate as part of a neocolonial project. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it explores how inhabitants and institutions of Diyarbakır respond not just through open resistance, but also through everyday negotiations and tactics.
